A review of various community feedback methods (ICE, Facebook, emails, Twitter, etc.) for the month of February 2013 has identified the following issues of general interest to the community. The purpose of this brief is to provide further clarification to those issues.

• Issue 1: In the event of an evacuation for the high-rise quarters when the elevators are unavailable, physically handicapped residents are unable to evacuate in a safe manner. Why can’t handicapped residents be assigned ground floor quarters? (Safety OFC or FES- Zama, DES)

• Issue 2: What is the current policy on signing for the visitors onto the post and when they depart Camp Zama or SHA? The guards are giving different instructions, and there should be an MP at the gate office to assist in issuing passes.

S3/5/7Voice of the Customer

(continued)• Issue 3: There are open toilets in the Camp Zama CDC toddler room that have no privacy dividers between the toilets for the children potty training. They need more privacy to learn to use the toilet. Also, are there any advanced education activities for each age group?
