KMC Housing: On-base resident reminders

by KMC Housing Office

Weather Safety:

Weather in Germany is constantly changing, so it’s prudent to frequently monitor the weather forecast and plan accordingly for your home and family. Below are a few tips you should use to protect personal and government property.

Secure all belongs outside your housing to include trampolines, canopies, children’s toys, flag poles, car covers, etc. Remember, you may be held responsible for any damage to government or other’s personal property due to improperly securing items.

Monitor property for snow and ice accumulation. It is important to ensure it is cleared promptly to prevent possible injuries.

Be a good neighbor and remind those around you of potential hazards.

If you see any damage within Military Family Housing due to the weather, contact the Housing Facilities Section at 489-7108 or 0631-536-7108.
