Wi-Fi
Jogging Safety
LIMITED ACCESS DUE TO HIGH OCCUPANY LEVEL
Highly recommend wi-fi connection by renting MIFI
See below
Wireless internet computer connectivity (Wi-Fi) is now available
throughout most of the main campground. Although this free
service is provided to our customers, there are some areas that
will experience signal blockage due to trees, buildings, or other
RVs. Some others will not be able to receive the signal because
of personal computer issues, such as weak cards.
Recreational jogging is great for your health and
physical well-being. Although it is enjoyable and
extremely popular, it can pose hazards to the jogger’s personal
safety. Below are some mandatory requirements to minimize
the hazards:
Wi-Fi Networks
The Wi-Fi networks in the main campground are located in the
Marina, SeaScapes and the FamCamp Office. There is no Wi-Fi
available in the Annex at this time.
Marina
The Access Point (AP) for this network is on the west end of the
Marina building. This AP provides Wi-Fi for the south end of the
main campground.
SeaScapes
The AP for this network is located in the Marina Activity Room,
and has limited signal availability beyond a couple of hundred
feet from the building.
Note: Wi-Fi is also available at the Laundry Room, Library,
Fitness Center, Bowling Center and Bay Palms Golf Complex.
FamCamp4
If you receive any other connection other than the 3 listed,
please log off and try again. FamCamp4 is a secure site and
requires a password. It is not for public use.
Note: YOU DO NOT NEED A PASSWORD TO CONNECT TO OUR
WI-FI. If you are prompted for a password, please log out and
try again.
Please be aware as the number of Wi-Fi users online at any one
time increases, the internet connection can slow down and may
cause the Wi-Fi to shut down. Once the network goes down, it
must be restarted. If this happens after-hours, it will not be
restarted until the next business day. Once you are finished with
your Wi-Fi session, please disconnect from the ‘hot spot’ you
are using. Be considerate of your fellow campers.
MiFi
MiFi is available for $50 a month/$50 refundable deposit at
the FamCamp office. MiFi stands for ‘My Wi-Fi’: MiFi is your own
individual unit that is portable to take anywhere; hook up
at anytime.

Tornadoes
Recycling
DESCRIPTION
We hope you enjoy your stay here and would
like to offer you some guidance on MacDill’s waste management policy. As with other AF and DoD installations, MacDill is
federally mandated to recycle as much as possible. In an effort
to make recycling more convenient, a large recycling drop-off
has been placed in each camping area.
Tornadoes are one of nature’s most violent, destructive storms
and can devastate an area in seconds. A tornado appears as a
rotating, funnel-shaped cloud, striking the ground with whirling
winds at speeds of up to over 300 miles per hour. A tornado
spins like a top and may sound like a train or like the engines
on an airplane. Tornadoes can travel 10 miles or more before
they subside. In Florida, they occur most frequently during the
months of June, July and August.
TORNADO WATCH
CARDBOARD
All corrugated cardboard except pizza boxes (they go in the trash).
PLASTIC
This advisory indicates conditions are favorable for the
formation of a tornado.
All plastic with a
symbol. These include soda and water
bottles, milk jugs, shampoo bottles, etc. Make sure to rinse all
dirty containers.
TORNADO WARNING
ALUMINUM
This advisory indicates a tornado has been sighted in your area,
and you should take protective actions.
PROTECTIVE ACTIONS
• Whenever severe thunderstorms threaten the area, listen to
radio and television announcements for updates and
instructions from the Giant Voice system or Base personnel.
• When a tornado has been sighted in the area (Tornado
Warning) take cover immediately.
• If you are already in Bldg #651 (Laundry Room) or in Bldg
#654 (Marina), stay in the building you are in and move away
from any windows. If there is enough warning, the Base Fitness Center is also available.
• If in a vehicle, Motor Home or Trailer, get out immediately and
seek shelter in a building that offers better protection.
If shelter is not available, lay flat in the nearest ditch, ravine
or culvert and protect your head with your hands.
• DO NOT attempt to flee from a tornado in your car or any
other type of vehicle.
RECOVERY ACTIONS
• Use extreme caution when entering your RV or other
facilities damaged by the storm.
• Look for broken gas lines, downed power lines, and damaged
utilities and report them to the proper authorities.
• Check for injured personnel. Do not attempt to move people
who are seriously injured unless they are in immediate danger. Call for medical help immediately.
Cell Phones
You must use a HANDS FREE cell phone while
driving on the base or you face the
possibility of being ticketed!
Rinse all aluminum cans before
taking to the drop-off.
PAPER
All mixed paper, including
everything up to cardboard.
Office paper, colored paper,
newspaper, junk mail, paperboard
(cereal/soda boxes), etc.
GLASS
Glass (all colors) must be taken to the dumpster located behind
SeaScapes. Remember to rinse all bottles first.
For any additional information please contact 6CES/CEVT at
(813) 828-0460.
Volunteers
The Outdoor Recreation staff relies on the
generosity of our volunteers to support the many
activities offered to our FamCampers. Without these volunteers,
we would not be able to offer the variety of programs as we have
in the past.
To volunteer for activities in the FamCamp, please contact
Danny & Caroline at the Marina office. Office hours are
between 1-3pm, Monday thru Friday. For more information
call 840-1513.
Volunteers who are already active this season, please turn your
hours in NLT than the 4th of the month. *All volunteers MUST be
registered with the Airman & Family Readiness Center. Calendars
are located in a folder at the Marina office.
Emergencies
MacDill AFB Hospital is a clinic and has no
Emergency Room. Emergency Treatment must be
obtained off base.

MacDill AFB Pet Policy
MacDill welocmes you & your furry friends however,
numerous complaints have been filed regarding
failure of FamCampers following the pet policy. The following
reiterates the FamCamp policy for pets and the base regulatory
guidance in regards to pets. The following will be required of all
pet owners staying in the FamCamp area:
According to Base Regulation, MACDI.31-102:
Owners/sponsors will:
1. Register all pets that reside on base. Registration at the
VTF (veterinarian office) MUST occur within 10
working days of acquisition of an uncaged pet or when an
uncaged pet reaches 90 days of age. Registration
requirements also include guest’s uncaged pets in the
FamCamp. No unregistered pets, except small caged
animals, seeing eye dogs and domestic animals in special
events will be allowed on base.
2. Control their domestic animals, indoors and outdoors,
to prevent the animal from becoming a nuisance to their
neighbors. When outdoors, the animal must be on a leash
and under direct supervision of a person capable of controlling the animal. Outdoor pet shelters are not
authorized in the MacDill FamCamp. Pets will not be tied
outside and left unattended.
3. Ensure all pets have a collar with tag attached that
depicts the current name and address of the owner,
current MacDill AFB registration tags, and other such tags
as may be required by the base or State of Florida for
transient personnel.
4. Ensure all domestic animals over 4 months of age are
immunized against rabies and maintain a current
immunization as prescribed by local law and AFI
48-131, Veterinary Health Services. If rabies immunization
is acquired off base by a licensed veterinarian, a record of
the immunization must be filed at VTF. The base
veterinarian upon demand of competent authority will
examine a domestic animal responsible for causing personal injury on MacDill AFB.
5. Ensure domestic animals are not maintained on base for
commercial breeding or training purposes. No one will keep
more than 2 four-legged pets. If more than two pets are
acquired by birth, the excess number will be
removed from the quarters within a reasonable time, not to
exceed nine weeks after birth.
6. Pets are not permitted on the beach, in the bathhouse/
laundry room or any other buildings. The only exemption
from these restrictions are seeing eye dogs and military
working dogs. Proper documentation is required.
7. Complaints concerning damage, injury or failure to
control pets, will be reported to the Security Forces
Control Center. Upon receipt of a sworn written statement
from the complainant, the Security Forces Control Center
will prepare a report on the incident.
11
8. One copy of the report will be forwarded by Reports and
Analysis (6 SFS/SFAR) to the base veterinarian and a
second copy to the FamCamp Office for information. Upon
receipt of two valid complaints against an animal or
owner, the 6 MSG/CC will review and decide whether to
require removal of the animal. Failure to remove the
animal may result in termination of FamCamp privileges.

Shelter-In-Place
TO SHELTER-IN-PLACE OR EVACUATE :
AN IMPORTANT DECISION!
SIP
• •
When personnel on MacDill AFB are faced
with a hazardous material or Weapons of Mass
Destruction (WMD) incident, they may be directed by emergency
response personnel to evacuate or shelter-in-place. Although your
first instinct may be to get as far away, as fast as possible, from
the situation, evacuation may not be the safest option.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO “SHELTER-IN-PLACE” (SIP)?
Shelter-in-place means simply taking shelter in your immediate
area and is meant for short term sheltering during hazardous
material-type releases. The shelter can be any room in your RV,
but should have as few windows and doors as possible and be
large enough to fit everyone comfortably for 2-4 hours. Listen
for the “giant voice” announcement to know when it is safe to
leave, and a telephone or radio should be available to call for
help or let others know that you are safe.
WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN SHELTERING-IN-PLACE?
You should turn off heat, air-conditioner and fans; close vents,
windows and doors; seal any areas where air can enter the RV,
and listen to the “giant voice” for instructions. When the
danger has passed, you will be advised when it is safe to leave
the protection of your shelter and to open the doors and windows of your home or vehicle to air it out.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I’M OUTSIDE OR
IN MY AUTOMOBILE WHEN THE DIRECTION
TO SIP IS ANNOUNCED?
Personnel located outside when SIP is initiated should go to
the nearest RV or building and shelter there. If in an automobile, pull into the safest place possible and stop your vehicle.
Try to find a shady spot to avoid becoming overheated. Turn off
the engine and air conditioner, close the vents and roll up the
windows. Listen for announcements on the base’s “giant voice”
system and your radio.
WHAT IS A SECTOR AND BLOCK AND HOW DOES IT
RELATE TO SHELTERING-IN-PLACE?
MacDill Emergency Management has divided the base into
Sectors and Blocks to aid in the notification process to “evacuate or shelter-in-place” in affected areas. There are six sectors
on MacDill which are further divided into 22 blocks. Outdoor
Recreation office and the main FamCamp are are located in
Sector C, Block 3. The FamCamp Annex is located in Sector C,
Block 1.
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR AND IMPLEMENT SIP?
1. Determine Shelter Location. Your shelter-in-place area is your
RV or automobile. RVs are not ideal for SIP but they are
better than going outside to find a better place. Choose a
room (RV only) with few windows, enough space for the entire
family comfortably, and preferably, with access to water. Tents
are NOT adequate for sheltering-in-place. If you are in a tent
and “shelter-in-place” is announced, go to a close facility or
get into your vehicle and follow SIP instructions for vehicles.
2. Prepare window, vent, and door coverings: When the room
is used as a shelter, the windows, vents, and doors must be
sealed against any outside air entering. Measure all openings
in the room and then add two inches to each measurement.
Take the measurements and cut plastic sheeting to the size
needed. Use tape to hold the plastic in place and seal around
windows, vents and doors.
3. Assemble SIP supplies: Your supplies should be stored in the
chosen shelter location in a single container. See below for
supply listing.
4. Have a plan: After making your preparations, develop a plan
or checklist. Make sure your family is familiar with SIP
supplies and location, and know how and when to implement
your SIP plan.
OTHER POTENTIAL SIP LOCATIONS
If you are near when SIP is announced you may be able to
shelter in: SeaScapes, Bldg 654 (Marina), or the laundry room.
WHEN TO SHELTER-IN-PLACE (SIP)?
WHAT IS NEEDED IN A SIP KIT
Shelter-in-place will be directed by local authorities when time
does not allow for a safe evacuation and the hazard is not
expected to last more than a few hours. In these cases, the
released chemical presents a hazard that could lead to injury or
death. By sheltering-in-place, you create a safe area inside, while
the hazard dissipates outside. Remain sheltered until directed to
leave by emergency responders or the “All Clear” is announced.

SHOULD I TRY TO EVACUATE?
You should not attempt an evacuation unless specifically
directed by emergency responders. They will use all available
information to determine the best means of protecting you
(SIP or Evacuate), then notify you. The best thing you can do is
to remain calm and follow their orders!
HOW WILL I BE NOTIFIED TO EVACUATE
OR SHELTER-IN-PLACE?
You will be notified by a voice announcement over the
base “giant voice” system.
