When making a Family Emergency Plan, include at least one phone contact outside your area. It may be easier to call long distance after a local emergency.

Flat Stanley & Stella want you to stock your family emergency kit like theirs as part of National Preparedness Month. They've got important items like canned food, a can opener, weather radio, first aid kit, extra prescription medications, and of course...their flashlights!

Here is some information for all of you at home enjoying the weather today!

Due to the recent inclement weather warnings for our area, EM Reps, Facility Managers, and UCC Reps should take a few minutes to look over applicable checklists, and make sure you are able to get accountability of the personnel currently working in your areas today. Please also look over your SIP Kits and make sure facility occupants know where the high winds/tornado shelter(s) is/are in your building, and remind them that certain roads may be flooded by the time they leave work today (watch for Hall Street Bridge and Kelly Drive Bridge closures).

If you see a tornado funnel, but do not hear the base siren, take cover immediately and call the CP at 671-4225 to report the location of the funnel. If you notice a road/bridge on base is flooded, but not blocked off, please call 802nd SFS at 671-2018.

If you live in a storm-prone area, you should tae a few minutes to review this "Tornado Safety Checklist" with your family. (photo NOAA)
