EMERGENCY AND ALERT PLANS

Each unit commander has copies of island alert and emergency plans
to cope with severe weather, disturbances, espionage, sabotage and enemy action. You will be instructed in actions you should take
under such circumstances. Armed Forces Radio will remain on the
air continually, if possible, to give current instructions and warnings.

Paramount to other instructions during extremely high winds are these:

1. Do not venture out alone. Always travel by buddy systems.

2. Do not leave protective cover unless it is vitally
   essential to the military mission of the saving of human
   lives.

Low visibility, wind chill and blowing objects make travel hazardous during extremely high winds.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THE WIND LOWERS BODY TEMPERATURE ON A COLD DAY?

ARMY RESEARCHERS RAVE FOUND THAT A 20 MILE WIND AT 34 DEGREES WILL PRODUCE THE SAME LOSS IN SKIN TEMPERATURE, IN ONE HOUR, AS WILL 38 DEGREES BELOW ZERO ON A CALM DAY.

DUTY HOURS

Duty hours for non-shift workers are 0730-1130 and 1230-1630 daily. Saturday hours are 0730-1130.

PERSONAL WEAPONS

Sports weapons are available through unit supply activities. It is not advisable to bring expensive personal weapons to Shemya. Private weapons must
be turned in to unit supply rooms during incoming processing. Station Regulation 125-2 discusses
control of weapons, both military and private.
