'Tis the season to be jolly. And Fort Belvoir offers many opportunities to do so, with tree-lightings, carolers and concerts. But, it's also the season of unpredictable weather as Old Man Winter begins his creaky amble through the atmosphere.
Ready Army recommends three rules for preparedness: get a kit, make a plan and stay informed.
With the possibility of bad weather, right around the corner, here's a quick reminder about how you can stay informed about conditions on post.
The installation has a long-standing process of updating the public on inclement weather. Updates regarding Fort Belvoir's status during inclement weather can be found online at belvoir.army.mil, or by calling the 24-hour information line, 703-805-3030.
The installation also has agreements with several radio and regional television stations that will announce any changes in Belvoir's operational status. Those are: Television: NBC News 4; ABC News 7/8; WUSA 9; FOX 5; Radio: WTOP 103.5 FM; WFLS 93.3 FM; WHUR 96.3 FM; WMAL 630 AM; WAGE 1200 AM; WFVA 1230 AM.
Questions related to Fort Belvoir Elementary School should be directed to the Fairfax County School District.
The Belvoir Eagle will include more information about Belvoir's inclement weather plans in upcoming issues.
