NSA Naples PAO Notes April 25, 2013

April 25, 2013 Public Works to Conduct Zone Inspections at Capo Over the next three weeks, the Public Works Department (PWD) will conduct zone inspections in all facilities at Capo. The goal is to identify facility deficiencies and prepare work plans to correct them. In particular, PWD staff will inspect facility safety and cleanliness; doors, walls, ceilings and floors; HVAC and plumbing; and electrical issues. Additionally, PWD will conduct an environmental survey on refrigerators to identify the type of Freon used by the appliance. If you are aware of any related issues in your spaces, please bring them to the attention of your command’s or department’s maintenance service representative for routing to PWD. Drivers Reminded to Wear Seat Belts All community members are reminded that personnel driving or riding in vehicles at NSA Naples are required to wear safety belts at all times. The NSA Naples Safety Office has recently recorded a decline in the number of community members complying with this requirement. The safety office periodically conducts surveys and has noted a sharp decrease (14%) in the compliance rate. Seat belts dramatically reduce the risk of death and serious injury in vehicle accidents. The air bag in a car is designed to assist the seatbelt system. Please buckle up. For more information, contact a base safety representative at DSN: 626-2414 or 081-568-2414.

Reminder: Annual Utility/Recurring Maintenance Survey The annual Overseas Housing Allowance (OHA) Utility and Recurring Maintenance Survey for Italy is open through Tuesday, April 30. Service members residing in private housing off base are eligible to take the online survey and will be asked to report average monthly costs for utilities and routine maintenance expenses incurred over the last 12 months. Find the survey at https://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/marutil.cfm.
