00:08.020 --> 00:09.964
I'm Brigadier General Nick Brown ,

00:09.970 --> 00:12.192
commanding general of Marine Corps Base

00:12.192 --> 00:14.880
Camp Pendleton . I'm here today to ask

00:14.880 --> 00:17.350
for your help with keeping all of us ,

00:17.559 --> 00:20.000
our marines , our sailors , and our

00:20.000 --> 00:22.379
families safe and well informed in the

00:22.379 --> 00:24.657
event of an emergency here on the base .

00:25.590 --> 00:27.479
While we're fortunate to serve in

00:27.479 --> 00:29.750
beautiful Southern California , we also

00:29.750 --> 00:31.694
have to be prepared to weather the

00:31.694 --> 00:33.806
natural hazards that come with living

00:33.806 --> 00:36.069
here from wildfires to droughts to

00:36.069 --> 00:38.509
winter rains and floods to the ever

00:38.509 --> 00:40.231
present possibility of a major

00:40.231 --> 00:42.342
earthquake . We take every precaution

00:42.342 --> 00:44.453
to mitigate risk aboard our base . We

00:44.453 --> 00:46.676
must also remain alert to the threat of

00:46.676 --> 00:48.731
possible terrorism or active shooter

00:48.731 --> 00:50.898
events as well . So in light of this ,

00:50.900 --> 00:52.956
we have developed the emergency mass

00:52.956 --> 00:55.122
notification system in addition to our

00:55.122 --> 00:57.344
base wide loudspeakers and social media

00:57.344 --> 00:59.344
platforms . We'll use the system to

00:59.344 --> 01:01.233
keep you and your family safe and

01:01.233 --> 01:03.289
informed should an emergency arise .

01:03.590 --> 01:05.870
However , it only works if our marines ,

01:06.029 --> 01:08.029
sailors and their families register

01:08.029 --> 01:10.140
with the system and understand how it

01:10.140 --> 01:12.739
works . So I'm asking you to do just

01:12.739 --> 01:15.760
that . Register with the system and

01:15.760 --> 01:17.649
help us keep you informed when it

01:17.649 --> 01:19.970
really counts . Thanks for your help .
