  8. Possible Scenarios • 81 TRW/CC’s decision: • Category 1 or 2 storm: • Limited evacuation • Students and Support personnel shelter • Category 4 or 5 storm: • Maximum evacuation, includes TRG • 100-200 personnel left on base • Category 3 storm: • Could go either way

  9. Evacuation Procedures • Evacuation of Storm Mission Non-Essential Personnel ordered by Wing Commander. • Storm Mission Non-Essential Personnel: evacuate to a Safe Haven location 150-600 miles away from Keesler and out of the path of the storm. • On-base shelters are activated during HURCON 1 to accommodate Hurricane Essential personnel and students, dependents allowed, but not recommended. • Evacuees:After arriving, call in your Safe Haven location to the Accountability Team at Maxwell AFB. • LEAVE EARLY!!! If you will be evacuating, leave as soon as possible after order has been given. Members have become stranded due to traffic jams, blocked roads and bridges, flooding, and lack of gas. No entitlements will be issued until an official 81 TRW/CC evacuation order is given. • After the Hurricane has passed: contact the • Keesler Accountability number1-800-673-9356 or AFPC number 1-800-435-9941 to get return info.

  10. Evacuation Routes • E/W: I-10, I-20; 90 is out • N/S: 49, I-59, I-65 (farther from the coast = better) • Contra-flow will likely be in effect • Monitor radio for traffic information

  11. Evacuation “Benefits” Psychological: • Dependents, Storm Mission Non-Essential members safe • Don’t have to sit in a room with 20 other people for several hours Financial: • Mileage to extent of Evacuation Order • Protect your vehicle

  12. Shelter Caveats • Power may go out, generators are for mission/operational support only • Most rooms will not have lights or A/C • Showers will not be available inside the shelter • Expect to share a room w/ 20 people – coed • The more shelterees we have, the less we can focus on local support • Fire Dept can’t respond above 70 mph winds • NO SMOKING in the shelter, you won’t be released during the storm for a smoke break

  13. Emergency Supplies • Prescription Medications • Food and Water Container (3 day supply) (Water in Shelter will be provided) • Flashlights/Spare Batteries • Blankets • Portable Radio • First Aid Kit • Manual Can Opener • Important Documents/Cash May Bring to Shelter or when Evacuating
