Be Prepared!
Hurricane season begins June 1

Although hurricane season officially runs from June 1 through November 30, it is always a good idea to stay vigilant and be prepared throughout the year. Preparing for a disaster is the most important step in keeping you and your family safe. Know what to do in the event of a hurricane and be prepared.

Tracking a Hurricane
If a hurricane is approaching Hawaii, you will learn about it from radio and television news reports. The news media will report advisories as they receive them from the National Weather Service (NWS) in Honolulu. In addition, residents should stay tuned to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam TV-Channel  2. (TV2 will be on text crawl, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.) MORE…

Be Prepared
Being prepared for disaster is important. When disaster strikes, you may not have ample time to respond and ensure the resources you and your family need to survive are available. Moreover, hundreds of other families in your area share the same concerns, and it will be difficult to get access to the necessities you need due to shortages and competition. Do not wait until the last minute and get caught in this situation. MORE...
