Airmen and their families who were ordered to evacuate Tyndall Air Force Base<\/a> in Florida will be allowed back on base over the next five days to survey the damage to their homes and secure their valuables, Air Force officials said Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a briefing with reporters, Air Force spokesman Brig. Gen. Ed Thomas said that from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday, airmen, personnel and their families can return to visit the more than 860 housing units there, and photograph property damage<\/a> for their insurance. They will be escorted to the housing area, and security forces will ensure the area is clear after 3 p.m. for safety reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airmen will also be able to remove their vehicles that remained on-base, as long as they are safe and driveable. And they may bring moving vehicles to transport their belongings.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
