Base emergency crews will continue damage assessments throughout the day, according to the base.
At this point, most of the damage appears to be confined to the Prairies neighborhood, said Wright-Patt spokesman Daryl Mayer. Damage to facilities at Area A and Area B appears to be minimal at this time and the base is open today for normal duty operations, according to a press release.
Any personnel impacted by the storm who unable to report for duty are asked to contact their supervisor, first sergeant or commander. Personnel who live in base housing and sustained personal property damage as a result of the storm may be able to file a claim with the Air Force after first filing a claim with renters or vehicle insurance, according to the base.
