Ana continues its approach to the Hawaiian Islands. Because tropical storms and hurricanes make many turns along their paths, it's difficult to predict exactly where and when they will hit, as well as the resulting storm impacts.

It is critical that all military and civilian personnel are prepared:

Emergency Kits: All residents, whether living on or off post, need to have an Emergency Kit prepared with basic supplies - like food, water and medications - for every member of your family. This kit should have enough supplies to last at least three days, although five to seven days is preferred. Emergency Kits should be brought to any shelter or safe haven, if an evacuation is necessary.

Flooding: Personnel should expect strong winds and heavy rain, which often produce flooding and abnormally high tides. Rushing flood waters can be deeper and stronger than they appear, and carry debris, rocks and mud. Secure and/or remove outdoor equipment and belongings.

Safe Havens: At this time, on-post Safe Havens are not being set up. Safe Havens serve as temporary locations for Department of Defense ID cardholders who have nowhere else to go for shelter during the storm. If Safe Havens need to be opened on post, information regarding the locations and hours will be released through garrison channels at a later time.

Stay tuned to official federal/state agencies and local media outlets for the latest storm updates and information.
