About this file

This document is a Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center (NDSTC) instruction establishing destructive weather preparation procedures and conditions of readiness for the facility located in Panama City, Florida.

The instruction establishes five tropical cyclone conditions of readiness (COR V through COR I) based on the projected arrival time of surface winds exceeding 50 knots, ranging from normal alertness during hurricane season (COR V) to evacuation orders within 12 hours (COR I). COR IV is triggered when destructive winds could arrive within 72 hours; COR III when within 48 hours; and COR II when within 24 hours. The document emphasizes that tropical cyclone CORs are based on storm location, movement, and velocity—not storm intensity—and should not be confused with National Weather Service storm categories. Preliminary measures required by May 14 annually include ensuring all craft are properly secured, conducting hurricane drills, and verifying that Aquatic Training Facility crane tie-down gear is functional. Progressive readiness actions are prescribed for each COR level, including communications with Naval Support Activity Panama City Emergency Operations Center, personnel briefings, equipment testing, IT system backups, fuel management, craft moorage per enclosure (11), small boat removal from water, and personnel evacuation to designated shelters. The instruction includes twelve enclosures providing detailed procedures for tornado and waterspout conditions, weather condition summaries, readiness checklists by COR level, craft preparedness plans, personnel evacuation plans with privacy act information, hurricane preparedness information checklists, hurricane locker inventory requirements, evacuation summary reporting forms, student briefing materials, a mooring plan diagram for Yard Diving Tenders, and procedures for protecting classified material during evacuation. The instruction cancels the previous version (3140.1H) and delegates specific responsibilities to the Commanding Officer, Executive Officer, Craft Officer, Engineering Officer, Disaster Preparedness Officer, Command Duty Officer, and Chief Master at Arms for execution of these procedures.

NAVDIVESALVTRACENINST 5216.lE List I

Enclosure (1)

TORNADO BILL

1. Discussion. Tornadoes are the most destructive weather phenomena known to man. Although major advancements have been made in identifying conditions that foster development of these phenomena, such as weather satellites and improved radar systems, observations by qualified individuals are still the primary means by which tornadic events are identified.

2. Purpose. The purpose of this bill is to foster respect (not a passive attitude towards these phenomena), provide guidance as to which precautions and actions should be taken, and to issue notification procedures that will be used to alert personnel to the threat or actual occurrence of tornadic activity. The dissemination procedures and precautionary actions listed below have been developed to minimize injury to personnel and to provide a system which will reduce potential for false alarms that could eventually result in a passive response to an actual treat.

3. Procedures. The following procedures will be used when dealing with tornado threats:

a. Tornado Condition II

(1) Criteria. Present or forecasted conditions favor development of tornado activity within 25 nautical miles during the time specified.

(2) Action. Departments will notify key personnel at the divisional level. Consideration should be given to securing unnecessary work or activity in exposed locations. All hands should review tornado warning signals. If possible, tune in to the local radio/television for up-to-minute warnings. Install Original Equipment Manufacturer tie-down gear on the Aquatic Training Facilities crane.

b. Tornado Condition I

(1) Criteria. A tornado or funnel cloud has been sighted within 25 nautical miles and conditions indicate that potential for a tornadic event is highly probable.

(2) Action. All outside work or activity will be secured. Those personnel residing in trailers should seek shelter elsewhere. All personnel should review their current location and identify what action they will need to take.

Personnel shall maintain such state of readiness until Tornado Condition II is reset or an "All Clear" is reported.

2 Enclosure (1)

c. Tornado Alert

(1) Criteria. A tornado or funnel cloud has been sighted and available data confirms that the tornado system will affect the station.

(2) Action. All personnel will seek shelter. Personnel inside buildings should seek shelter in hallways, under desks, or in other protected areas. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD

PERSONNEL ATTEMPT TO OPEN DOORS AND WINDOWS AS THE TORNADO

APPROACHES. Personnel in exposed areas who cannot reach shelter should lie face down in a ditch, culvert, or on the lowest ground available and cover their heads with their arms.

Personnel operating a motor vehicle, when possible, should drive away at a right angle to the tornado 1 s path. If avoidance by vehicle is not possible, personnel should pull off the road and seek shelter where practicable. Personnel shall maintain such state of readiness until the signal for Tornado Condition I or an 11All Clear 11 is indicated.

d. All Clear

(1) Criteria. Conditions indicate that there is no longer a threat of tornadic activity or criteria for Tornado Conditions.

(2) Dissemination. There is no signal for 11All Clear.11

The word will be passed verbally by telephone or by other means.

(3) Action. Personnel will report injuries and property damage to the Command Duty Officer/Officer of the Day, as appropriate, and render assistance to injured personnel and emergency teams as needed.

Enclosure (2)

WATERSPOUT BILL

1. Discussion. Two types of waterspouts are common to the local area.

a. Local type. Originate from convective clouds of moderate vertical extent, which form a line or small clusters.

Their existence is very sensitive to wind and temperature;

surface winds of 20 knots or greater, or a cooling of the atmosphere caused by precipitation will dissipate them.

Additionally, when they come ashore, the friction induced by the land rapidly dissipates them. The biggest threat posed by these waterspouts is to small craft, recreational boating, and their support facilities such as harbor operations and marinas. Winds near these spouts are in the 20 knot range.

b. Tornado Type. Originate from severe convective cells associated with a cold front, squall line, or large convective cluster. Whenever conditions for tornado development are present over coastal areas, potential for their development is very high. They have a relatively short life span and usually stay over water. However, when one does come ashore, the initial intensity would be sufficient to cause property damage and injure personnel.

2. Procedures for Notification of Waterspout Advisories.

Communications will notify the Officer of the Day and Command Duty Officer who will notify any craft underway. Air Operations, Port Operations, and the Naval Support Activity, Panama City Marina are to take precautionary actions similar to those taken when small craft warnings are issued.

NATURAL DISASTER PREPAREDNESS PLAN FOR NDSTC CRAFT

1. YDT 17/18. To improve the safety of the Yard Diving Tenders (YDTs) there is a Mooring Plan (enclosure (11)) to facilitate the proper mooring of the YDTs to help ensure the craft survivability. The YDTs will be moored across Alligator Bayou with the bows facing the East Dock (Naval Support Activity, Panama City pier) and the sterns facing the West Dock (Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center (NDSTC) (NDSTC pier). The craft will be placed in hurricane moor at the discretion of the NDSTC Commanding Officer or when Hurricane Condition 2 is imminent. Use of this mooring plan will be coordinated between the contractor and appropriate military personnel.

2. Small Craft. To improve the security of the small workboats during the periods of high tides and high winds, each small craft will be retrieved from the water and stored in the Craft Building or other designated safe areas.

Enclosure (6)

PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION CHECKLIST

Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center (NDSTC) and Panama City are located in a primary hurricane danger zone. Plans have been made to protect life and property when hurricane force winds and abnormal high tides are forecast to arrive in this area. The hurricane season for the State of Florida is normally the period 1 June to 30 November.

In the event that a mass evacuation of the area is declared by local commanders and civil defense authorities, local shelters are the only designated evacuation shelters for the military personnel in this area. Preparations made well in advance of the hurricane season and a personal checklist will go a long way in alleviating apprehension and uncertainty in the event a hurricane materializes.

1. Preparation for the Hurricane Season. The most important thing you and your family must do is to be prepared. Ask yourself the following questions and if you can answer yes to all of the questions then you and your family are well prepared to survive.

a. Do you know where to evacuate?

b. If your spouse cannot drive, does he or she have a neighbor or friend to help in the event of an evacuation?

C. Do you have a complete hurricane kit?

d. Do you know what to do in a hurricane watch?

e. Do you know what to do in a hurricane warning?

2. Riding out the Storm. If a storm is a low category or the threat to NDSTC is minimal, it is likely that the Commanding Officer will decide not to evacuate. In such cases, dependents may remain in their homes to weather out the storm. Whether the decision is made to ride out the storm at home or totally evacuate the area, certain preparatory actions must be taken by everyone. Radio and television bulletins are given far in advance of the storm. Initial preparations to secure your home should begin as soon as COR IV is announced.
