00:14.742 --> 00:17.072

if a earthquake does happen for Yokota,

00:32.763 --> 00:34.447
that we're able to respond and make sure

00:34.447 --> 00:36.799
everybody gets their medical needs attended,

00:36.799 --> 00:38.930
and that we take care of the people

00:38.930 --> 00:40.930
who reside here on base.
