THE INDIVIDUAL EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN

The San Diego area is prone to threats and hazards, both natural and man-made. The most critical part of any response is to have a plan of action and be mentally prepared to execute it.

BASEWIDE AWARENESS

Let’s take this opportunity to remind everyone of the continued need for vigilance. While there are no credible threats directed against Miramar at this time, there are known Al Qaeda sympathizers within San Diego County. If you watch the news you know that it only takes one disturbed individual with a gun to create havoc.

The Commanding Officer needs continued vigilance from all hands stationed at Miramar. This includes family members and civilian employees aboard the installation. If you see something that doesn’t look right (i.e. suspicious behavior), report it to PMO using the Eagle Eyes phone number (877) 356-3937.

The Eagle Eyes system is designed to capture reports of suspicious behavior and get that information to law enforcement so they can conduct an investigation in a timely fashion.

The attachment is a flyer describing Eagle Eyes and contains a data sheet for writing down notes.
