Introduction
This site provides you and your noncombatant family members with essential information should you be required to evacuate from Japan and relocate to the United States or a designated Safe Haven. These NONCOMBATANT EVACUATION OPERATIONS, often referred to by the acronym NEO, require advance planning and preparation on the part of all evacuees. Your unit NEO coordinator will be your point of contact in times of crisis or emergency. He will assist you in filling out NEO forms as well as provide training to prepare you for an evacuation.
Reasons to Evacuate
- Typhoon Tracker
- Tropical Weather in the Western Pacific
- Naval Oceanographic Portal
- Report an Earthquake
An evacuation could be directed for many reasons. Among these reasons are:
- Increasing military tensions
- Natural Disaster (earthquake, typhoon (same for hurricanes)
- Orderly withdrawal of forces/personnel from overseas locations
In times of crisis or danger, the U. S. Department of State will decide when to evacuate noncombatants. In the event of an evacuation order, installation commanders and individual unit Commanding Officers and OICs are responsible for ensuring that sponsors have prepared their family members to be evacuated/relocated in an efficient and orderly manner.
