Media Release: PMRF sets TCCOR 2 in response to weather forecast from Hurricane Lowell

PMRF continues to monitor Hurricane Lowell to ensure the safety and security of base personnel and residents with plans to secure facilities contingent upon weather updates.

As a reminder, PMRF’s guest pass access, Morale, Welfare, Recreation (MWR) facilities, guest cottages, and all recreation facilities remain closed at TCCOR two status.

The PMRF Navy Exchange will operate normal business hours today during TCCOR two for last-minute preparations but may close without prior notice at higher TCCOR levels.

For residents living on base, be prepared to safely shelter in place; no evacuations are currently planned for PMRF base housing at this time.  Residents will be notified if they are to be relocated to safe havens on base.
