There are currently no plans for an evacuation at this time, however, if an evacuation is ordered, base housing residents will be directed to the base gym for safe haven.  All PMRF personnel and base housing residents should remain indoors, off the roads and exercise extreme caution during peak storm hours.  At TCCOR one, the installation is allowing main gate access and internal movement to essential personnel only.

For personnel living off base, particularly in coastal evacuation zones or in areas prone to flooding, be aware of road conditions and know the location of the nearest County of Kauai shelters in the event you need to evacuate.  If in need of shelter, go to the nearest shelter near you. 

PMRF essential response crews will be required to report to work and have been notified.  Category five mission essential personnel will remain on standby in the event they are required to report in. 

All other personnel are advised to stay in touch with their supervisor, monitor AtHoc messaging and continue to monitor the PMRF and Navy Region Hawaii Facebook pages for official updates throughout the storm event.
