Dear Military Family,

As part of our services to help your family, we want to take a few minutes of your time to talk with you
about emergency preparedness. While preparedness is a way of life for our military families, are you
truly prepared to respond to an emergency in if one occurs in your area? June 1st marked the beginning
of the Hurricane Season and it does not end until November. And as you know, the weather is not
always predictable. Consider that we have had two recent tropical storms prior to the start of the
season, so there is no true predictor for what may come. It is also important to remember that
tornadoes or other natural disasters can result from hurricanes and tropical storms, so being inland from
the coast does not guarantee protection from the storm. Therefore, we want to share some information
with you to help you prepare and respond to such threats.

During an emergency
The following steps should be taken in emergency situations:

    1.   Make sure you are safe before assisting others.
    2.   Follow your emergency plan.
    3.   Get your emergency kit.
    4.   Monitor radio, television and online for information from authorities. Follow their instructions.
    5.   Stay put until it is safe or you are ordered to evacuate.
    6.   Limit phone calls to urgent messages only. Keep the lines free for emergency responders.

Severe Storms
During severe storms
     If possible, take shelter in a building and stay indoors.
     Monitor radio, television and online for weather warnings and instructions from authorities.
     If you have time, secure items that might be blown around or torn loose, such as lawn furniture.
     Stay away from windows, doors, and fireplaces.
     If you are driving, stop your car away from trees or power lines.

Hurricanes
If you are inside:
      Stay in a safe place; hurricane winds can quickly change in opposite direction or grow stronger.
      Avoid using a corded phone and stay away from items that conduct electricity.
      If you live on the coast or in a low-lying area near the coast, move inland and to higher ground.
         If you are outside:
      Do not go to the shore to watch the storm.
      If you are on the water, head for shore immediately.

Thunder and Lightning Storms
If you are inside:
      Unplug radios, TVs, and appliances. Use a battery-operated or wind-up radio to listen for
         weather warnings and instructions from authorities.
      Avoid using a corded phone and stay away from items that conduct electricity.
      If there is hail, stay away from windows, glass doors, and skylights.
If you are outside:
      If caught in the open, crouch in the “leap frog” position to minimize ground contact. Do not go
         under a tree.
      If you are driving, stop your vehicle away from trees or power lines.
      If you are on the water, head for the shore immediately.

Tornadoes
If you are inside:
      If you are in a high-rise, do not use elevators.
      Go to the basement or small interior ground floor room. Take shelter under a table or desk.
      Stay away from windows, outside walls, fireplaces and doors.
      Avoid using a corded phone and stay away from items that conduct electricity.
      Limit phone calls to urgent messages only.
If you are outside:
      If time permits, go to the nearest solid shelter. If not, take cover in a low lying area such as a
         ditch and protect your head. Beware of flooding and downpours and be prepared to move.
      Do not shelter under a bridge as winds can accelerate.
      Do not shelter in a mobile home that does not have a solid foundation.

Floods
If flooding is imminent:
       Turn off basement furnace and main gas valves. Unplug appliances and electronics.
       Shut off electricity only if flooding has not yet begun and area around electrical panel is dry.
       Move furniture and important belongings above ground level.
       Plug basement sewer drains and shut off toilet connections.
         If flooding has already begun:
If you have not already shut off electricity, do not attempt to do so once water has entered your home.
       Do not enter a flooded basement that may contain live wires or appliances.
         After a flood:
       Do not return home until authorities advise it is safe.
       If the main power switch was not turned off prior to flooding, do not re-enter your home until a
         qualified electrician has determined it is safe.
       Use extreme caution when returning to your home after a flood.

Power Outages
    Check if the power outage is limited to your home. If your neighbors have power, check your
       circuit breakers.
    If your neighbors’ power is also out, contact your electrical supply company.
    Turn off all tools, appliances, electronics, and all but one light inside and outside.
    Use your thermostat to turn off heating or air conditioning.
    Avoid opening your freezer or fridge.
    Do not use barbeques, camping heating equipment, or home generators indoors. They can
       produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.
    Monitor a crank or battery-powered radio and online for weather warnings and instructions
       from authorities.
  If possible, use a battery or crank-powered light source. If you must use candles, use proper
       candle holders. Never leave lit candles unattended. Always extinguish candles before going to
       bed.
When the power returns:
   In cold weather, turn heating back on first, then wait 10 minutes before reconnecting everything
       else.
   Check food supplies. If a freezer door has been kept closed, food should stay frozen for 24-36
       hours. Food contaminated with bacteria does not necessarily smell or look spoiled. When in
       doubt, throw it out.

Evacuation Order
If ordered to evacuate:
      Follow instructions from authorities.
      Take your emergency kit, plan, medications, wallet, identification, and cell phone.
      Shut off water, electricity and gas if instructed to do so.
      Notify your out-of-town contact and leave a note inside indicating when you left and where you
        are going (if time permits).
      Lock your home.
      Use specified routes and pay attention to information on road closures. Stay off any identified
        “disaster response routes” which are for emergency responders only.
      Do not cross a flooded area by foot or in a vehicle. If your vehicle stalls in fast-rising waters,
        abandon it.
      Register with a local reception center in person or by phone.
      Do not return home until authorities advise it is safe.

Emergency Numbers
During an emergency monitor radio, television and online for information from authorities: Call 9-1-1 to
report a fire, a crime, or to save a life. For non-emergency calls, use the 10-digit number in your local
phone directory:
Ambulance:

Get a Kit
In an emergency you will need some basic supplies. You may need to get by without power or tap water.
Be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours. Make sure your kit is easy to carry and everyone
in the household knows where it is.

Emergency Kit List
    Water – at least 2 liters per person per day
    Food that won’t spoil, such as canned food, energy bars and dried foods
    Manual can opener
    Crank or battery-powered flashlight (and extra batteries)
    Crank or battery-powered radio (and extra batteries)
    First aid kit
    Extra keys (vehicle and home)
    Cash in smaller bills, and change for payphones
    A copy of your emergency plan and contact information
    Special items such as prescription medication, infant formula, and equipment for people with
       disabilities

Keeping in Touch in Emergencies
Being able to communicate with family, friends and emergency responders during an emergency is
critical. However, keep in mind that everyday communication devices may not work properly during an
emergency.
      If possible, use non-voice channels like text messaging, email or social media, as these use less
          bandwidth than voice communications and may work even when phone service has been
          disrupted.
      If you must use a phone, keep your conversation brief and convey only vital information.
           Keeping your calls short also saves the battery life of your mobile phone.
      If you are unable to complete a call, wait 10 seconds before redialing to help reduce network
          congestion.
      Keep extra batteries or a charger for your mobile device in your emergency kit. Consider getting
          a solar-powered, crank, or vehicle phone charger, or if you do not have a cell phone, keep a
          prepaid phone card in your kit.
      If you have been evacuated and have call-forwarding on your home phone, use it to forward
          calls to your cell phone.
      If you do not have a hands-free device in your car, stop driving or pull over to the side of the
          road before texting, making a call or using the device.
      Keep your contacts up to date on your phone, email and other channels.
      Note, cordless phones rely on electricity and will not work during a power outage. If you have a
          landline, keep at least one corded phone in your home.
Additional tips for Smartphones
      Save your safe meeting location(s) on your phone's mapping application.
      Conserve your battery by reducing the screen’s brightness and closing apps you are not using.
    To reduce network congestion immediately after an emergency, avoid using your mobile device
         to stream videos, download entertainment, or play video games.
Side tip (Technology in emergencies)
     Sign up for Direct Deposit and electronic banking through your financial institution so you can
         access your funds and make electronic payments from wherever you are.

Information Sources
     Opt-in to a notification system if offered by your local emergency management offices. To find
       out if your community offers such services, contact your local emergency management
       organization.
     Include these sites in your emergency plan and bookmark them for quick access:
     FEMA’s website on emergency preparedness, www.fema.gov.
     American Red Cross: www.redcross.org
     The Salvation Army: www.salvationarmy.com
     NOAA-National Weather Service: www.weather.gov/nwr.
     Your local emergency management agency

Are You Ready? Operation Emergency Preparedness Isaac 2012

  • 1.
  • 2. Dear Military Family, As part of our services to help your family, we want to take a few minutes of your time to talk with you about emergency preparedness. While preparedness is a way of life for our military families, are you truly prepared to respond to an emergency in if one occurs in your area? June 1st marked the beginning of the Hurricane Season and it does not end until November. And as you know, the weather is not always predictable. Consider that we have had two recent tropical storms prior to the start of the season, so there is no true predictor for what may come. It is also important to remember that tornadoes or other natural disasters can result from hurricanes and tropical storms, so being inland from the coast does not guarantee protection from the storm. Therefore, we want to share some information with you to help you prepare and respond to such threats. During an emergency The following steps should be taken in emergency situations: 1. Make sure you are safe before assisting others. 2. Follow your emergency plan. 3. Get your emergency kit. 4. Monitor radio, television and online for information from authorities. Follow their instructions. 5. Stay put until it is safe or you are ordered to evacuate. 6. Limit phone calls to urgent messages only. Keep the lines free for emergency responders. Severe Storms During severe storms  If possible, take shelter in a building and stay indoors.  Monitor radio, television and online for weather warnings and instructions from authorities.  If you have time, secure items that might be blown around or torn loose, such as lawn furniture.  Stay away from windows, doors, and fireplaces.  If you are driving, stop your car away from trees or power lines. Hurricanes If you are inside:  Stay in a safe place; hurricane winds can quickly change in opposite direction or grow stronger.  Avoid using a corded phone and stay away from items that conduct electricity.  If you live on the coast or in a low-lying area near the coast, move inland and to higher ground. If you are outside:  Do not go to the shore to watch the storm.  If you are on the water, head for shore immediately. Thunder and Lightning Storms If you are inside:  Unplug radios, TVs, and appliances. Use a battery-operated or wind-up radio to listen for weather warnings and instructions from authorities.  Avoid using a corded phone and stay away from items that conduct electricity.  If there is hail, stay away from windows, glass doors, and skylights.
  • 3. If you are outside:  If caught in the open, crouch in the “leap frog” position to minimize ground contact. Do not go under a tree.  If you are driving, stop your vehicle away from trees or power lines.  If you are on the water, head for the shore immediately. Tornadoes If you are inside:  If you are in a high-rise, do not use elevators.  Go to the basement or small interior ground floor room. Take shelter under a table or desk.  Stay away from windows, outside walls, fireplaces and doors.  Avoid using a corded phone and stay away from items that conduct electricity.  Limit phone calls to urgent messages only. If you are outside:  If time permits, go to the nearest solid shelter. If not, take cover in a low lying area such as a ditch and protect your head. Beware of flooding and downpours and be prepared to move.  Do not shelter under a bridge as winds can accelerate.  Do not shelter in a mobile home that does not have a solid foundation. Floods If flooding is imminent:  Turn off basement furnace and main gas valves. Unplug appliances and electronics.  Shut off electricity only if flooding has not yet begun and area around electrical panel is dry.  Move furniture and important belongings above ground level.  Plug basement sewer drains and shut off toilet connections. If flooding has already begun: If you have not already shut off electricity, do not attempt to do so once water has entered your home.  Do not enter a flooded basement that may contain live wires or appliances. After a flood:  Do not return home until authorities advise it is safe.  If the main power switch was not turned off prior to flooding, do not re-enter your home until a qualified electrician has determined it is safe.  Use extreme caution when returning to your home after a flood. Power Outages  Check if the power outage is limited to your home. If your neighbors have power, check your circuit breakers.  If your neighbors’ power is also out, contact your electrical supply company.  Turn off all tools, appliances, electronics, and all but one light inside and outside.  Use your thermostat to turn off heating or air conditioning.  Avoid opening your freezer or fridge.  Do not use barbeques, camping heating equipment, or home generators indoors. They can produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.  Monitor a crank or battery-powered radio and online for weather warnings and instructions from authorities.
  • 4.  If possible, use a battery or crank-powered light source. If you must use candles, use proper candle holders. Never leave lit candles unattended. Always extinguish candles before going to bed. When the power returns:  In cold weather, turn heating back on first, then wait 10 minutes before reconnecting everything else.  Check food supplies. If a freezer door has been kept closed, food should stay frozen for 24-36 hours. Food contaminated with bacteria does not necessarily smell or look spoiled. When in doubt, throw it out. Evacuation Order If ordered to evacuate:  Follow instructions from authorities.  Take your emergency kit, plan, medications, wallet, identification, and cell phone.  Shut off water, electricity and gas if instructed to do so.  Notify your out-of-town contact and leave a note inside indicating when you left and where you are going (if time permits).  Lock your home.  Use specified routes and pay attention to information on road closures. Stay off any identified “disaster response routes” which are for emergency responders only.  Do not cross a flooded area by foot or in a vehicle. If your vehicle stalls in fast-rising waters, abandon it.  Register with a local reception center in person or by phone.  Do not return home until authorities advise it is safe. Emergency Numbers During an emergency monitor radio, television and online for information from authorities: Call 9-1-1 to report a fire, a crime, or to save a life. For non-emergency calls, use the 10-digit number in your local phone directory: Ambulance: Police: Fire: Family Contact Information Name: Phone: Name: Phone: Name: Phone: Out-of-Town Emergency Contact Name: Home: Work: Cell: Email: Street address: Other Emergency Contacts Doctor:
  • 5. Veterinarian: Poison control: Pharmacy: Get a Kit In an emergency you will need some basic supplies. You may need to get by without power or tap water. Be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours. Make sure your kit is easy to carry and everyone in the household knows where it is. Emergency Kit List  Water – at least 2 liters per person per day  Food that won’t spoil, such as canned food, energy bars and dried foods  Manual can opener  Crank or battery-powered flashlight (and extra batteries)  Crank or battery-powered radio (and extra batteries)  First aid kit  Extra keys (vehicle and home)  Cash in smaller bills, and change for payphones  A copy of your emergency plan and contact information  Special items such as prescription medication, infant formula, and equipment for people with disabilities My emergency kit is located: Next update (one year from now): Keeping in Touch in Emergencies Being able to communicate with family, friends and emergency responders during an emergency is critical. However, keep in mind that everyday communication devices may not work properly during an emergency.  If possible, use non-voice channels like text messaging, email or social media, as these use less bandwidth than voice communications and may work even when phone service has been disrupted.  If you must use a phone, keep your conversation brief and convey only vital information. Keeping your calls short also saves the battery life of your mobile phone.  If you are unable to complete a call, wait 10 seconds before redialing to help reduce network congestion.  Keep extra batteries or a charger for your mobile device in your emergency kit. Consider getting a solar-powered, crank, or vehicle phone charger, or if you do not have a cell phone, keep a prepaid phone card in your kit.  If you have been evacuated and have call-forwarding on your home phone, use it to forward calls to your cell phone.  If you do not have a hands-free device in your car, stop driving or pull over to the side of the road before texting, making a call or using the device.  Keep your contacts up to date on your phone, email and other channels.  Note, cordless phones rely on electricity and will not work during a power outage. If you have a landline, keep at least one corded phone in your home. Additional tips for Smartphones  Save your safe meeting location(s) on your phone's mapping application.  Conserve your battery by reducing the screen’s brightness and closing apps you are not using.
  • 6. To reduce network congestion immediately after an emergency, avoid using your mobile device to stream videos, download entertainment, or play video games. Side tip (Technology in emergencies)  Sign up for Direct Deposit and electronic banking through your financial institution so you can access your funds and make electronic payments from wherever you are. Information Sources  Opt-in to a notification system if offered by your local emergency management offices. To find out if your community offers such services, contact your local emergency management organization.  Include these sites in your emergency plan and bookmark them for quick access:  FEMA’s website on emergency preparedness, www.fema.gov.  American Red Cross: www.redcross.org  The Salvation Army: www.salvationarmy.com  NOAA-National Weather Service: www.weather.gov/nwr.  Your local emergency management agency STATEWIDE FAS LOCATOR CALHOUN Deborah E.
