The Fort Meade Emergency Operations Center is closely monitoring the projected track of Hurricane Irene and will be issuing preparation guidance over the next couple of days. It is extremely important that installation units and agencies begin immediately to survey their areas of responsibility to ensure that all door and windows can be secured, loose materials and equipment are securely stowed or anchored, validate emergency contact information (internal and external) and very personnel/sensitive item accountability, so that should the worst happen the Fort Meade community can rapidly and effectively respond to and mitigate adverse conditions.
