Winter Advisory Resources

Facebook: By 5:30 a.m., and when conditions warrant a change, notifications are posted to

the garrison Facebook page, at https://www.facebook.com/USAGarrisonStuttgart.

AFN Radio: Announcements air on American Forces Network Stuttgart (102.3 FM). Or

Telephone Hotline: Call the Weather and Road Condition Hotline at 431-3744 or civ.

based on Military Police patrols.

Military Police patrols access only installation roads. Roads in the surrounding local

communities outside of the installations, including bus routes, are not assessed or

reported on by the MPs.

Announcements regarding service member and employee work-reporting instructions

during times of delayed or closed operations only apply to the garrison organizations and

its workforce, the Logistics Readiness Center and Department of Defense Dependents

Schools.

Operations Command Europe or other organizations, work delays and early releases are

only authorized by their leadership.

Individual drivers should access the safety of their travel routes and should contact their

chain of command if they feel travel would be unsafe.

Use Facebook, AFN, or the weather hotline as the first source for road condition

information, instead of calling the MP desk to keep emergency lines open.
