Destructive Weather Plan and Checklist
The purpose of the Destructive Weather Plan and checklist is to
prepare the building and grounds of NEPMU-6 for severe weather
and potential evacuation. Table 1 provides a checklist of the
actions which will be accomplished by Command personnel in
preparation for destructive weather. Detailed information on the
background and definitions of destructive weather, the Tropical
Cyclone Conditions of Readiness (TCCOR) and the JBPHH
Destructive Weather protocol can be found in Section IV, Hazard
Specific Appendix 1 of JBPHHINST 3440.17A Installation Emergency
Management Program.
The Destructive Weather checklist will be exercised by NEPMU-6
annually to ensure currency. Copies of the NEPMU-6’s EAP with
TCCOR checklists will also be submitted to the JBPHH Office of
Emergency Management annually by 01 MAY (prior to the beginning
of hurricane season) to maintain situational awareness. The
checklists are considered living documents which may be changed
at any time without requiring prior approval by the original
signature authority. Appendix A provides a list of supplies
which will be maintained in the hurricane locker for use in
destructive weather preparation.
During an actual emergency, attainment of each TCCOR level will
be reported to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at: (808)
448-2570/2583/3263 or the JBPHH CDO at: (808) 864-2460; email:
prlh_cdoNSP@navy.mil. TCCOR level attainment can also be
reported in-person directly to the C4I operations center.

Communication during Destructive Weather
In the event that destructive weather necessitates that
personnel shelter-in-place in their homes, a phone muster will
be initiated by the OOD at the earliest opportunity. Contact
will be made with all personnel to verify their safety and wellbeing.
If such an event forces personnel to evacuate their homes, the
evacuated member and family should proceed to the hurricane
evacuation center nearest their home. Evacuated personnel will
remain at this facility until the “All Clear” is given by CNRH
or JBPHH authorities. Once the “All Clear” is given, a phone
muster will be initiated by the OOD to account for all
personnel. If telephone and other electronic forms of
communication are not operational in the aftermath of the storm,
all Command personnel should proceed to the Unit for muster –
but only if is safe to do so.
In the absence of telephone or electronic communications
capabilities, if it is not possible for a member to safely
transit to NEPMU-6 after the “All Clear” is given, the member
should proceed to the hurricane evacuation center listed above
their name on the NEPMU-6 Disaster Muster Point Sheet (Appendix
B). A representative from the Unit will attempt to locate any
individuals not accounted for by other means at the appropriate
Muster Points during the time periods specified below in
Appendix B. If an individual has been in contact with their
department head or other Chain of Command member through any
other means, the individual does NOT need to muster at the
Muster Point. It is imperative, however, that all personnel be
accounted for.
Other Types of Destructive Weather
In addition to tropical cyclones, hurricanes and other wind
related phenomenon, destructive weather can entail a variety of
other atmospheric conditions or the resulting anomalies they
cause on the earth’s surface. These include high surf, flooding,
and thunderstorms. Detailed information related to these hazards
and the measures that will be taken by JBPHH to minimize their
impact on the base can also be found in the Destructive Weather
Appendix of ref (c).
The mitigation efforts required to minimize damage to the NEPMU6 facility and equipment from flooding, whether due to high surf
or extensive rain, are the same as those required to minimize
water damage from a hurricane. The protective steps are
contained in TOCCOR checklists 2 and 1 above. These checklists
will therefore be followed if a flood warning which has the
potential to impact the facility is given for any reason.
The mitigation efforts required to minimize damage to the NEPMU6 facility and equipment from a thunderstorm are also specified
in the TCCOR checklists. Because of the associated high winds,
exterior facility/grounds housekeeping and the elimination of
flying debris hazards are especially important. Additionally, if
a local thunderstorm warning is announced or Thunderstorm
Condition I is set by JBPHH, command personnel will cease all
non-essential outdoor work and activity.

SOP FOR EMERGENCY RECALL:
During a hurricane or other natural disaster, personnel will
shelter in place at the location designated in the Disaster
Muster Point Sheet. If any personnel decide to change locations
prior to shelter in place being called, they must contact the
designated muster point leader as soon as possible prior to the
disaster to inform him/her of the new location. All personnel
are to remain at shelter in place until “All clear” is called by
JBPHH or CNRH authorities. Depending on the circumstances of the
disaster, this “All Clear” notification may be in the form of a
phone call, email, website update (Facebook: JBPHH-FCPOA), or
radio/television announcement.
Once the “All Clear” is given by CNRH or JBPHH authorities, a
standard telephone recall/muster will be initiated to account
for all personnel and family members. Department Heads will
contact the OOD with muster results and the OOD will then
contact the OIC. If a member has not been contacted by
departmental personnel within 1 hour of the “All Clear’ being
given, the member should attempt to initiate contact with
someone in their respective department or the POOW/OOD to report
their status. Text messaging may be attempted only if regular
phone calls fail to go through.
In the event that phone lines are incapacitated or contact
cannot be made via phone for other reasons, personnel who have
not been in contact with NEPMU-6 staff to report status should
muster at NEPMU-6 during the hours below or as soon as it is
safe to do so.
If an individual has no means of transportation to NEPMU 6, and
the individual has not been able to reach the Chain of Command
through others means, the individual is required to physically
muster at the location under which they are listed on the
Disaster Muster Point Sheet during the time periods specified
below, but only if it is safe to do so. The muster point leader,
department head, or other NEPMU-6 representative will attempt to
locate any individuals not accounted for by other means at the
appropriate Muster Points during these time periods.
If an individual has been in contact with their department head
or other Chain of Command member through any other means, the
individual does NOT need to muster at the Muster Point.
Department Heads are responsible for ensuring that civilian
personnel and the families of TAD and deployed personnel are
contacted.
Designated Muster Point
Times:
1) If the disaster subsides between the hours of 2400 and 1159,
muster at your designated location between 1530 - 1730 the same
day.
2) If the disaster subsides between the hours of 1200 and 2359,
muster at your designated location between 1000 - 1200 the
following morning.
