Settling in for the storm
From left, Tech. Sgt. Jodi Schmidt and Staff Sgt. Jan Turner, shelter management team members, process Airman 1st Class Laurel Hutchins, Airman David Lukin, Airman Basic Lacey Freebern and Senior Airman Matt Jackson into the Wolfe Hall shelter Friday during Keesler's hurricane exercise. All are members of Keesler's 335th Training Squadron except Airman Jackson, who's assigned to the 81st Communications Squadron. Keesler conducted a four-day exercise this week with a fictional Hurricane Taylor to test the base's emergency responses, sheltering plan and evacuation processes. Base officials use the experience to address any issues that may arise to fine-tune Keesler's readiness for any future storms. (U.S. Air Force photo by Kemberly Groue)
