 What are Typhoons?
Typhoons are tropical cyclones that form in the Pacific Ocean.
The Okinawa prefecture and surrounding areas are prime
breeding grounds for these storms. High humidity, and warm
water temperatures, provide ideal climates for typhoons. When
typhoons develop, they pose serious threats to the local com-
munity. Winds can read extreme levels (greater than 150 mph),
which can send debris flying through the air. Additionally, storm
surges can occur, raising water levels and intensifying waves
caused by high winds.

Typhoon season in Okinawa starts on June 1st and continues

through November 30th each year. This is the most likely time
for typhoons to occur, but they can occur at any point through-
out the year if the right conditions are present. If a typhoon
does occur, Okinawa prepares for the storm by executing ac-
tions outlined in Tropical Cyclone Conditions of Readiness
(TCCOR).

TCCORs are graduated states of readiness based on the fore-

cast of 50 knots (58 mph) winds. TCCOR declarations are
orders: take them seriously! While conditions may not look
bad where you are, they can change quickly and you can be
caught in a violent storm without warning. Typhoons can accel-
erate rapidly, causing a drastic shift in the surrounding climate,
causing a violent storm without warning. Changes in TCCOR
levels are broadcasted over AFN radio (89.1 FM) and pub-
lished on the AFN Okinawa and Kadena Air Base official Face-
book pages.

 Sandbag Readiness
Facility Managers, Military Family Housing residents, and person-
nel living off installation should prepare sandbags as early as pos-
sible. Place sandbags across doorsills during TCCOR 2. Sandbags
are free to Military Family Housing (MFH) residents at the Eagle
Hardware Store. Plastic (if used) is self-procured. See pages 10-13
for sand fill locations.

Build/pre-stage ASAP! Use sandbags to weigh

down bins!

Position sandbags during Best practice:

 After the Storm

USE CAUTION

Be aware that there may be glass, debris, power lines, fires, and poten-
tially harmful items displaced from the typhoon. You should not leave
your safe area until notified by authorities that it is safe to do so. You
must allow recovery personnel to do their job safely and efficiently.
When unauthorized personnel are out roaming the streets and taking in
the damage, they endanger both themselves and the recovery crews.
Please stay put until told to leave, unless you have an emergency.
When you are finally authorized to leave your safe area, use extreme
caution. Check the area around your quarters, and help your neighbors,
especially families of deployed members. Be sure to check common
areas where children play. Base recovery crews will complete initial-
checks in these areas, but it is recommended to double check the area
before children return in case something was overlooked. Ensure you
remove sandbags from doorsills to prevent safety concerns and help
mitigate pest infiltration.

16
 Filing a Claim for Damage

company. If you suffered loss or damage to your personal property due
to a typhoon, and you meet both of the criteria outlined below, you can

or a civilian Employee of the Department of Defense and you are not
considered a local inhabitant of the area.
Criteria 2: The property was located in your assigned or authorized
quarters, or located on base when it was damaged. Please see below

 Installation Warning System (AtHoc)
To receive notifications using AtHoc, follow the steps listed below.
Questions regarding AtHoc notifications can be sent to 18 WG Com-
mand Post or your installation’s Emergency Management office.

1.) Right click on the white globe with purple ring located in your bottom
right task bar of your work computer.
2.) Choose "Access Self Service."

3.) Go to "My Profile" tab and click "Edit" in the top right hand corner.
4.) Under "My Profile," enter your user information. At a minimum, you

 Automatic Alerts for Disasters and Attacks
Japan J-ALERT Emergency Broadcast System

J-ALERT is Japan’s emergency broadcast system launched in 2004, used to quickly

and automatically disseminate information from the government to the public via sat-
ellite and an array of equipment set up nationwide, in cases of natural disasters such
as earthquakes, tsunami or floods, or attacks on Japan such as missile launches.

The J-ALERT system sends alerts as follows:

Transmission Always Automatic - Missile Launch, Terrorist Attack, Military Attack,

Earthquake, Tsunami, Volcanic Eruption, Weather Emergency etc.

Transmission Automatic Depending on Location - Regional Details about Earthquake,

Tsunami, Volcanic Eruption, Tornado, Flood etc.

Transmission Not Usually Done - Specific River Flood Levels, Weather Warnings,
Volcano Warnings etc.

How can I get J-ALERT Alerts?

The “NHK World TV” app on iOS and Android can provide alerts in English from the
J-ALERT emergency broadcast system, but receiving is on an “opt in” basis. install
this app from your app store, and in its notification settings, set it to receive quake, tsu-
nami and/or breaking news alerts.

To receive J-ALERT’s in English

1.) Download NHK World Japan App.

2.) Within the app settings, set push

notifications to English and set
toggles to receive quake, tsunami,
and breaking news alerts.

20
 US Naval Hospital Considerations
At TCCOR 1-C, routine admission to the US Naval Hospital at
Camp Foster and all branch medical clinics on the island are sus-
pended until TCCOR-Storm Watch or All Clear are declared. Emer-
gency care is still available at the US Naval Hospital. Appointments
cancelled due to typhoon conditions should be rescheduled by call-
ing the appropriate clinics.
All expectant mothers who are 37 weeks (34 weeks with twins or
high risk pregnancies) or greater gestation are advised to report to
the US Naval Hospital, Camp Foster. Upon arrival, expectant
mothers are expected to check-in at the Information Desk. Expect-
ant mothers will be residing in the hospital during the emergency
phase of the storm. Bring all prescription medications, personal
toilet articles, a change of clothing, snacks (food options are limit-
ed), credit card for meals, sleeping bag and pillow. If you bring a
radio, it must have earphones. Due to limited space in the Naval
Hospital, you may bring only ONE adult with you (no children or
pets due to safety concerns)
