Fort Eisenhower will be reopened for normal operations beginning at 8 a.m. Friday, Oct. 11.
“We are ready to reopen the gates of Fort Eisenhower and welcome back the full workforce, our beneficiaries, and the community. Over the past two weeks, herculean work has been accomplished on and off the installation – recovering from Hurricane Helene has been possible because of teamwork, community commitment, and neighborly care, “said Commanding General Maj. Gen. Ryan Janovic, in a news release from Fort Eisenhower. “We have all learned more about resilience and readiness. I am humbled to be on this team and thankful for the support from the whole Army.”
The Safe Haven evacuation order will be rescinded at 11:59 p.m., Oct. 10, 2024. While the effects of the hurricane are ongoing, the majority of facilities are operational and plans are established for repairs or replacements, the release said.
Servicemembers and civilian workers should contact their chain of command and/or supervisors for information on returning to work.
