Fire Alarm Reminder Community members are reminded that alarm systems in buildings at Support Site and Cappodichino don’t all send a signal to the Dispatch Center. If an alarm is activated, always dial the emergency number to report it. Housing occupants are also advised that activation of a smoke detector may not activate the building’s alarm. In that event, use the pull station in the hallway to activate the alarms. When alarms are sounding in housing buildings or any other facility, all personnel are required to evacuate and may not re-enter the building until given permission by the on-scene commander. To report an emergency, dial DSN 911 or 081-568-4911. Questions may be directed to the fire prevention offices at either DSN 629-4488 or 626-6626. Naples Receives Results from Radon Study NSA Naples recently received results from a year-long indoor radon monitoring study, which is part of an ongoing Navywide radon monitoring program. Radon detectors were installed in Navy facilities at Capodichino, Support Site, Gaeta, Carney Park, and Navymanaged buildings at Allied Joint Force Command (JFC) Naples in Lago Patria. These detectors were placed in basements and ground-level indoor spaces inhabited, or that could be inhabited in the future, at least four hours daily. Of the approximately 1,600 pairs of detectors collected and analyzed, 24 were above the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) action level and require mitigation. No housing units tested exceeded mitigation action limits. Mitigation measures are being taken for the 24 sites above EPA action levels and will be re-tested once mitigation is complete to verify radon levels are below the EPA threshold. Approximately 200 radon detectors from the year-long study were not found and are being re-tested for six months. Those sites are currently being re-tested and will also be mitigated and re-tested if found to be above the EPA radon threshold. To view the sample results, visit the NSA Naples website at www.cnic.navy.mil/regions/cnreurafswa/installations/nsa_naples/om/environmental_sup port.html. For additional information, call the Public Works Environmental division at DSN 6266644 or 081-568-6644; or the NSA Environmental Health Officer at DSN 629-6299 or 081-811-6299. Other information sources about radon can be found at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency website: www.epa.gov/radon; or at the World Health Organization website: http://whqlibdoc.who.int/publications/2009/9789241547673_eng.pdf.

Bicycles and Strollers Collected from Housing Unlabeled bicycles and strollers collected from Support Site Housing from April to September are in the MWR Warehouse parking lot, located between the carwash and the POV lot. If community members feel their item was mistakenly taken or would like to reclaim it, they can visit the parking lot to see if it is there. If located, please contact Housing’s Peter Parillo at DSN 629-4287 or 081-811-4287 to reclaim the bicycles or strollers taken during the periodic collections. The ongoing effort helps clear away objects that may have been left by previous residents or otherwise abandoned. The items not reclaimed will be fixed before being donated to a charity organization. Post Office Advisory on Mailing of Nativity Scenes (Presepes) The Presepes ‘Nativity Scenes’ found throughout Naples and Italy contain miniature clay figures that craftsmen have made for hundreds of years. The figurines pose no agricultural risk and can be sent or taken stateside. However, the figures are often housed in a village setting made of natural bark decorated with peat moss, which can contain damaging insects or other pests and are prohibited from being imported into the United States. Nativity Scenes produced using finished wood, plastic, or commercially-cleaned and lacquered straw (except rice straw) can be mailed to the U.S. Customers of the post office can be fined $100 or more if they mail scenes containing moss, bark, pinecones, untreated straw or other restricted materials. For questions, please visit or contact your post office. La Cucina Hospital Galley to Close for Renovations The U.S. Naval Hospital Naples galley La Cucina closed for renovations Dec. 15.
