00:05.849 --> 00:07.960
Eastern North Carolina is different .

00:08.579 --> 00:10.746
We never know what the hurricane paths

00:10.746 --> 00:12.523
are going to look like what the

00:12.523 --> 00:14.801
hurricane season is going to look like .

00:14.801 --> 00:16.690
So we ask that everybody takes an

00:16.690 --> 00:18.912
honest look at what they're doing , how

00:18.912 --> 00:18.250
they're preparing for it , be as

00:18.260 --> 00:20.590
prepared as you can and make sure

00:20.600 --> 00:22.656
during hurricane season , you always

00:22.656 --> 00:24.822
have a plan and you're always thinking

00:24.822 --> 00:26.933
about if this happens , what can I do

00:28.350 --> 00:30.461
of weather exercise is just that it's

00:30.461 --> 00:32.572
an exercise where essentially you run

00:32.572 --> 00:34.739
rehearsals , setting up everything you

00:34.739 --> 00:37.169
see in front of you to be prepared for

00:37.180 --> 00:39.180
in the event and actual destructive

00:39.180 --> 00:41.970
weather occurs . Rehearsal , give you

00:41.979 --> 00:43.812
an opportunity to go through the

00:43.812 --> 00:45.868
motions , familiarize your team with

00:45.868 --> 00:48.090
procedures and everything , inventory ,

00:48.090 --> 00:50.599
your equipment and catalog any lessons

00:50.610 --> 00:52.777
learned from mishaps from the exercise

00:52.777 --> 00:55.889
as well too . So I believe that it's

00:55.900 --> 00:58.540
important to have DWX events because it

00:58.549 --> 01:01.189
helps the force of readiness during the

01:01.200 --> 01:04.599
hurricane season . It helps families

01:04.610 --> 01:08.610
and marines as well get prepared when

01:08.620 --> 01:10.842
that time comes . So that way they know

01:10.842 --> 01:13.080
how to respond in these situations as

01:13.089 --> 01:15.919
an individual or family and within the

01:15.930 --> 01:18.041
units to be as prepared as they can ,

01:18.041 --> 01:19.930
can help what we do as a base and

01:19.930 --> 01:21.819
station in responding to that and

01:21.819 --> 01:24.041
making sure that everybody can get back

01:24.041 --> 01:26.800
to normal after the event happens . God

01:26.809 --> 01:29.650
forbid if we have to have shelters and

01:29.660 --> 01:32.769
hurricane hits , I want people to know

01:32.779 --> 01:35.069
that I'm gonna treat them and protect

01:35.080 --> 01:37.358
them the same way I would do . My wife ,

01:37.358 --> 01:39.129
my family , my parents .
