12 DALLAS – The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts a more-active-than-usual hurricane season in 2021 and the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is making sure military communities will have everything they need to weather the storm.
The Exchange’s Merchandising Directorate is working around the clock to proactively build inventory at distribution centers, ensuring items that have historically seen high demand during severe weather, such as water, flashlights, batteries and extension cords, are in stock and ready to ship at a moment’s notice. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through Nov. 30.
Meanwhile, Exchange general managers at locations prone to severe weather are preparing lists of items they want shipped to their stores ahead of major storms. Managers continuously monitor forecasts and communicate with local commands to ensure their communities’ needs are met during hurricanes and tropical storms.
