PMRF sets TCCOR 1E, shelter in place ordered due to winds from Hurricane Lowell
PACIFIC MISSILE RANGE FACILITY, KEKAHA, HAWAII – Pacific Missile Range Facility is currently under Tropical Cyclone Conditions of Readiness One Emergency, or TCCOR 1E, due to severe weather conditions associated with Hurricane Lowell. Due to potentially hazardous conditions, all personnel and base residents are directed to shelter in place and remain indoors until TCCOR All Clear is announced.
TCCOR 1E means destructive winds are occurring and all outside activity is suspended unless specifically directed by command authorities for emergency or mission-essential purposes.
Personnel and base residents should remain indoors, shelter in place, and avoid travel unless required for safety or directed by official authorities. Do not go outdoors during hazardous conditions unless absolutely necessary. Secure yourself in the safest available location and be prepared for possible power outages, communications disruptions, and changing conditions.
A safe haven for base residents has been established at the base gym and can be utilized if base housing becomes unsafe for any reason.
PMRF leadership remains focused on the safety of installation personnel and families, protection of critical infrastructure, and accountability of the base population. Emergency response personnel are postured to address immediate health and safety needs as conditions allow.
Base residents, personnel, and families should continue to monitor local news updates and AtHoc messaging and follow all emergency instructions. Official announcements from PMRF will also be posted on the PMRF and Navy Region Hawaii Facebook pages throughout the storm event.
