The American Red Cross on Naval station ,

00:10.633 --> 00:12.411
Guantanamo Bay held a hurricane

00:12.411 --> 00:14.300
preparedness event featuring base

00:14.300 --> 00:16.578
organizations such as fleet and family ,

00:16.578 --> 00:18.633
the fire department and security who

00:18.633 --> 00:18.510
provided information on tropical

00:18.520 --> 00:21.120
weather emergencies . The important

00:21.129 --> 00:23.280
reasons why we have this preparedness

00:23.290 --> 00:25.659
event is to make sure our community is

00:25.670 --> 00:29.040
resilient and can respond and recover

00:29.049 --> 00:31.700
from disasters that happened . We want

00:31.709 --> 00:33.765
to make sure that their families are

00:33.765 --> 00:35.987
prepared if they have to evacuate or if

00:35.987 --> 00:39.169
they have to go into shelters . The

00:39.180 --> 00:41.236
naval station Guantanamo Bay is in a

00:41.236 --> 00:43.349
very unique position . We are in the

00:43.360 --> 00:45.529
path of many of the hurricanes that

00:45.540 --> 00:47.610
come through . So we need to be

00:47.619 --> 00:49.659
prepared in order to meet those

00:49.669 --> 00:51.502
challenges that those hurricanes

00:53.020 --> 00:55.076
reporting from a FN Guantanamo Bay .

00:55.076 --> 00:55.700
I'm Officer Zack .
