Team Tyndall,

ALL CLEAR: 10 Oct 2026, 1100L

The 325th Fighter Wing commander has declared Tyndall AFB ALL CLEAR. The immediate threat from Hurricane Isaias has passed, and the installation reopens at 1100L as recovery operations continue. Shelter in place for all personnel and dependents has been lifted.

Personnel Guidance
Personnel may resume regular operations and duty schedules. If you are traveling to Tyndall from off base, use caution, as the storm may have affected local roads and infrastructure. Continue working AFPAAS accountability: all personnel should log into AFPAAS and report their status. Monitor AtHoc, official Tyndall AFB channels (https://www.tyndall.af.mil/Status/), and direction from your unit and supervisor.

Gates
Tyndall Gate, Airey Gate, and Sabre Gate have all returned to normal operations.

Emergency Family Assistance Center
Personnel and families needing assistance can contact EFAC at 850-630-9623. The EFAC is the central point of contact for those affected by the storm. It can answer recovery-related questions, connect you with available resources, and coordinate referrals based on individual needs.

Medical Care
Routine medical care has returned to normal status. For a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or contact Bay County emergency services. For urgent, non-life-threatening needs, use a local urgent care facility.

Dining Facility
The Berg-Liles Dining Facility reopens this evening with grab-and-go meal options. Full dining operations are expected to resume tomorrow.

Other Base Services
The status of remaining installation services is still being determined. Updates on the commissary, AAFES, child care, fitness facilities, and other services will come through official Tyndall AFB channels.

Thank you for your patience and continued discipline as the Checkertail team restores normal operations.

10/10/2026

WEATHER UPDATE: Tyndall AFB is transitioning into the recovery phase following Hurricane Isaias. Our Base Recovery Element teams will begin installation-wide assessments at sunrise, when conditions allow them to safely operate.

We know our Airmen, families, civilians, contractors, and community partners have questions. Here is what to expect:

• When will the base reopen? The installation will reopen in phases only after recovery teams confirm roads, gates, utilities, facilities, and emergency-response capabilities are safe.
• When can I access the base? Do not return to the installation unless you receive official direction from your unit, supervisor, or Tyndall AFB notification channels.
• Are services and facilities open? Base services will reopen as conditions permit. We will provide updates on gates, medical support, dining, the commissary, AAFES, child care, fitness facilities, and other services through official channels.
• What is the status of utilities and facilities? Recovery teams will assess power, water, wastewater, communications, roads, and facilities beginning at sunrise. We will share information as assessments are completed.
• Why are teams waiting until sunrise?Safety comes first. Daylight enables recovery teams to identify hazards such as downed power lines, flooding, debris, damaged structures, and unsafe roads before broader movement begins.
• What does the Base Recovery Element do? The BRE assesses damage, establishes safe routes and work areas, supports life safety and emergency response, restores critical utilities and services, and helps prepare the installation for a safe, deliberate return to operations.
• What can I do now? Remain at your current safe location, avoid unnecessary travel, monitor official Tyndall AFB channels and AtHoc notifications, and maintain contact with your chain of command.
• What if I have an emergency? Call 911 for an immediate emergency. Do not attempt to enter restricted areas or drive around barriers, standing water, downed lines, or debris.

Recovery will take time. The Checkertail team is moving deliberately to protect our people and restore the installation safely. Thank you for your patience and continued discipline as we work through recovery operations.
