JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii -- In preparation for Hurricane DOUGLAS, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam has set Tropical Cyclone Condition of Readiness (TCCOR) FOUR with destructive and sustained winds of 50 knots or greater possible within 72 hours.
DoD civilian and military personnel and their families who live and work on JBPHH should take this opportunity to complete preparation of family disaster kits and stock up on food, bottled water, dry milk, batteries, flashlights, candles and other emergency supplies. Prepare your home by securing all exterior furniture and loose objects. Pick up any last minute material for your hurricane kit. Fill the gas tank of your vehicle and keep it above ¾ full as you complete your preparations. The closer the hurricane is, the longer the lines for gas and groceries will be.
At this time, personnel are advised to take this opportunity to become informed, make a plan and build a family disaster kit containing emergency supplies. For preparedness information, visit www.ready.navy.mil, www.beready.af.mil, www.ready.gov, or the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency website at www.scd.hawaii.gov.
