Tornado and Wildfire Information Sheet
As of March 1, 2016
Fort Hood is now entering the spring / summer seasons. Listed below are resources
Fort Hood units and Family members may use to increase preparedness and reduce
risks associated with the tornado and wildfire seasons.
Tornadoes: Tornado season in Texas is typically March through August, but tornados
can occur any month of the year. Strong winds are the most destructive aspect, with
gusts reaching as high as 300 mph. Eighty percent (80%) of tornadoes occur between
noon and midnight. While some areas are more prone to tornadoes than others, they
can occur anywhere, so it is best to be prepared.
Wildfires: Fire season in Central Texas is typically May through October. However;
Fort Hood is subject to range fires year around as we conduct training in our established
range and training areas. Wildfires can start unexpectedly and spread quickly. You
may not be aware of a wildfire until you are in danger, so it is important to be prepared.

Fort Hood Community Information
Ready Army
READY ARMY is the Army’s proactive campaign to increase the resilience of the Army
community and enhance the readiness of the force by informing Soldiers, their Families,
Army Civilians and Contractors of relevant hazards and encouraging them to Be
Informed, Make a Plan, Build a Kit and Get Involved. The READY ARMY website
www.acsim.army.mil/readyarmy is a great place to start.
Commanders, Directors / Office Chiefs and Facility Managers should confirm
Emergency Action Plans (EAP) are written, rehearsed and validated for their units /
organizations.
Mr. Mark Peterson is our Fort Hood Ready Army point of contact (POC) and can assist
units and organizations such as Family Readiness Groups with increasing awareness

Fort Hood conducts emergency and consequence management training on a recurring
basis including an annual Full Scale Exercise (FSE). Our next FSE is May 11–13, 2016
and the scenario is a Wildfire event. During the FSE, individuals may see and/or hear
emergency vehicles responding to a notional emergency incident including Soldiers and
Civilians role playing as casualties. Our Public Affairs Office will make additional
announcements via the Sentinel and other media to inform the Greater Fort Hood
Community.
Listed below are resources Fort Hood units and Family members may use to increase
preparedness and obtain information to reduce risks associated with the tornado and
wildfire seasons.

Army Emergency Relief (AER)
Did You Know…
…Army Emergency Relief will provide financial assistance to purchase a
replacement vehicle? If the cost to repair your vehicle is more than the vehicle
is worth…it probably doesn’t make sense to keep the vehicle on “life support.”
Realizing that this situation is not that uncommon, AER approved a specific
category of assistance to cover the expense. AER can provide up to $4,000 as a
down payment on a replacement vehicle.
…You can find Army Emergency Relief on Facebook at:
www.facebook.com/AERHQ You can view photos and videos and keep in
touch with the AER community. There are many useful links to information and
resources that benefit Soldiers and their families, as well as updates on
programs and services and special events. With a donation tab on the Facebook
page it is easier than ever to make a safe and secure contribution to AER. If you
have not “liked” the page, check it out and share it with your friends!
…Army Emergency Relief can provide assistance to purchase essential home
furnishings? Whether you’re newly married, had a recent addition to the family,
or just establishing a new household, AER can help with the essentials. Nope,
not the big screen TV or the mega entertainment center, but beds, cribs, tables,
chairs and lamps are allowed. Don’t go to the “pay-day lender” or the “rent to
own shop.” The interest rates are exorbitant and you’ll end up paying double,
triple or even more to the friendly folks who want to help. Make AER your first
choice.
When you need help, call ACS Financial Readiness Branch at (254) 288-6330 or visit
Army Emergency Relief in the Rivers Building, Bldg. 121 or in the Resiliency Campus,
Bldg. 12020, Suite 400.

 Parent participation is highly encouraged in all CYSS programs, as Families are an integral

across all CYSS by: cataloging meaningful participation opportunities, standardizing the point
system based on participation opportunities, standardizing the points required for fee
reductions and standardizing the process to apply fee reduction to monthly payments
 The established common criteria should ensure that Families understand that their
participation is valued and needed and truly contributes enhancing the sense of community
 Parents may earn a fee reduction for volunteering a minimum of 10 hours generally in their
child’s program or on behalf of CYSS
 Participation Points may be accumulated from month to month until the Parent earns 10 points,
to receive a 10 percent reduction on one month’s fee for one child
 If a parent has earned 20 points, then the 10 percent fee reduction may be applied for one
child over a 2-month period or used for two separate children during the same month
