Safety For Kids: 
Just a reminder to Airmen and their families to remember safety at all times, even after the storms. Keep an eye on your children as they'll try to play in flood waters and climb fallen trees, both could be dangerous with downed power lines and broken branches. Also be watchful of critters and reptiles that may come out from any rising waters. 

Tips: 
* On-base residents may pick up home supplies at the Self-Help Store. 
* Before the power goes out, fill up bath tubs with water to use for toilets. 
* Follow all safety guidelines for generators, ensure proper ventilation. 
* In case of tornado, move to an interior room without windows. 
* Close shed doors and tie down trash cans or loose objects.
