Posted by coreydwilliams on May 3, 2010
Like you, we are closely monitoring the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico and preparing for any potential business impact here at Seascape Resort. We will continue to post updates like this one in order to keep you up to date on information as it is available.
According to the latest trajectory forecast reports posted on www.noaa.gov, our area is not expected to see any immediate impact from this incident over the next few days. It is important to keep in mind that this is a dynamic event and the steering models are subject to change but again, the present trajectory forecast models do not have this incident impacting our area over the next few days.
As you might expect, we are receiving numerous calls inquiring about this incident and its impact on vacation plans. As we receive these calls we are informing guests of the most current information. The overwhelming majority of guests have chosen to keep their reservation. In the event that this tragedy begins to affect our beaches and guests, we will make further determinations regarding guest notifications.
We will continue to monitor the situation and communicate with local management officials to ensure that we are providing the most up-to-date information. We have a representative attending every public update forum in the area and we have offered to host clean-up crews and management officials should the need arise. We will post additional updates as information becomes available.
