ATTENTION
To all residents at Camp Zama (CZ)
and
Sagamihara Family Housing Area (SFHA).

ATTENTION
Please be aware that
the Command Senior Leadership is involved
in resolving the MOLD issues,
and all efforts are being made by
JED/DPW/Public Health Command and Housing.

ATTENTION
Please be aware
that the Senior Leadership is deeply involved
in resolving
the recent family housing MOLD issues.

ATTENTION
It is important that you understand
that extreme efforts are being made through
a partnership of Japan Engineering District (JED),
Directorate of Public Works (DPW), MEDDAC,
and your Garrison professionals.

ATTENTION
We are all working towards a solution
as quickly as possible.
Please continue to monitor
US Army Garrison Japan face book page
and the Command Channel
for real time updates on the mold situation.

ATTENTION
See the Command Channel now
for the latest information
from DPW and MEDDAC.

2014 summer months have brought
very high humidity levels to this area,
and have enhanced the conditions
for mold growth.

Mold will grow most anyplace
where the conditions are ideal,
such as areas which have moisture,
low lighting,
and moderate temperatures.

Even hidden areas, like closets,
can grow mold if moisture is present.
Keeping your home free of moisture
is the best way to prevent mold growth.

Keep indoor humidity levels
between 30 percent and 50 percent.
(Humidity meters can be purchased
for as little as $10 online)

Do not leave restroom or kitchen
exhaust fans running continuously,
as this can potentially assist
mold growth.

Exhaust fans should only be run
while showering,
during cooking, or to remove odors.

Clean up moisture and condensation immediately.
Use dehumidifiers to further control levels
of humidity in the home.

Keep closet doors open one to two inches
to allow fresh air circulation.
Obtain desiccant dehumidifier packets
from Self Help and place them in closets.

If mold is present in an area of
nine square feet or less:
Scrub rigorously using detergent and water,
or a mixture of 1 cup of bleach
per 1 gallon of water.

Wear a protective mask, gloves,
and eye protection
when cleaning and dry the area
after completion of cleaning.

If mold is present on a larger surface:
Contact DPW Operations and Maintenance
for assistance
in making further determinations of remediation
263-4274 or 263-4613

Please be aware
Many of our quarters and facilities
were constructed at different times over the years,
and Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning Systems
(HVAC’s) of many types were installed.

Please be aware
This will require different types of settings
to ensure the appropriate inside-air conditions
are correct
which will minimize mold conditions.

Please be aware
The Garrison Leadership is aware and all efforts
are being made to develop / revise instructions
which will aide you
in making your quarters comfortable
and provide the best environment possible.

What is Mold?
Molds are fungi that can be found
both indoors and outdoors.
No one knows how many species of fungi exist
but estimates range from tens of thousands to perhaps
three hundred thousand or more.

What is Mold?
Molds grow best in warm, damp,
and humid conditions,
and spread and reproduce by making spores.

What is Mold?
Mold spores can survive
harsh environmental conditions,
such as dry conditions,
that do not support normal mold growth.
(Source: www.CDC.gov/mold)

How do I get rid of Mold spores in my home?
It is nearly impossible to rid your home of mold spores.
Mold spores travel into homes
through the clothing you wear,
under your shoes, in your hair, and just about
any other conceivable route of entry that exposes
the outdoor environment to a residence.

If Mold spores are present, won’t mold grow anyway?
No: Mold requires three key elements to grow,
without one of these elements,
mold cannot grow.

If Mold spores are present, won’t mold grow anyway?
These elements are
moisture (condensation, humidity >60%),
dark/dim areas, and a food source
(generally any organic material such as clothing,
walls, furniture).

I see mold growing, do I need to have it sampled?
No: Generally, it is not necessary to identify
the species of mold growing in a residence,
and neither CDC nor the EPA
recommends routine sampling for molds.
(Source: www.cdc.gov/mold)

What regulatory guidance exists for levels of mold?
There is no “safe” level or standard
that prescribed
a permissible exposure limit for mold.

What regulatory guidance exists for levels of mold?
The Occupational Health and Safety Administration
(OSHA) currently does not have a standard
on indoor air quality or mold.
(Source: www.miami.edu)

How can mold affect me and my family?
Exposure to mold can cause health effects
in some people.
The most common effects are allergic responses
from breathing mold spores.

These allergic responses include hay fever or asthma
and irritation of the eyes, nose, throat or lungs.

People who may be affected more severely and quickly
than others include:
- Infants and children
- Elderly people
- Pregnant women

People who may be affected more severely and quickly
than others include:
- Individuals with respiratory conditions
or allergies and asthma
- Persons with weakened immune systems

Those with special health concerns
should consult their doctor
if they are concerned about mold exposure.

Symptoms that may seem to occur
from mold exposure
may be due to other causes, such as bacterial
or viral infections or other allergies.
(Source: https://www.aiha.org)

Less common effects of mold exposure
include infections and toxic effects.
Serious infections from living molds are
relatively rare and occur mainly in people
with severely suppressed immune systems.

Many types of molds may produce toxins
but only under certain growth conditions.

Toxic effects have been reported
from eating moldy grain,
but evidence is weak that breathing mold spores
in buildings causes toxic effects.
(Source: www.health.ny.gov)

I hear that mold is “toxic” or “Black Mold” is bad?
What does this mean?
Popular reports about the health effects of mold
are likely to include the term “toxic mold.”
But that term can be misleading,
the experts say.

They point out that only certain mold spores
produce toxins,
and only under certain circumstances.
Just because a particular mold
can produce toxins doesn’t mean it will.

Even if the mold is producing toxins,
a person must breathe
in a sufficient dose to be affected.

It is usually associated with Stachybotrys chartarum,
a type of greenish‐black mold commonly associated
with heavy water damage.
Not all molds that appear to be black are Stachybotrys.

The known health effects from exposure to
Stachybotrys are similar to those caused
by other common molds,
and again in high exposure situations (as in agriculture),
are known to be associated with severe health effects
in some people.

Such exposures seldom, if ever, occur in buildings
except during remediation activities
by people not taking appropriate precautions.
(Source: www.Johnshopkinshealthalerts.com
and https://www.aiha.org)

Are some molds more harmful than others?
Any extensive indoor mold growth
should be treated
as a potential health concern and removed
as soon as practical no matter
what species of mold is present.

Are some molds more harmful than others?
Identify and correct the source of moisture
so that mold will not grow back.
(Source: www.health.ny.gov)

I feel sick and I think the Mold is causing it;
what should I do?
Consult a family or general health care provider
who will decide
whether you need referral to a specialist.

what should I do?
Such specialists might include an allergist
who treats patients with mold allergies
or an infectious disease physician
who treats mold infections.

what should I do?
If an infection is in the lungs, a pulmonary physician
might be recommended.

what should I do?
Remember, only a licensed physician
can accurately diagnose signs
and symptoms of potential mold exposures.

Voting is
one of our most fundamental rights
as U.S. citizens.

The Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP)
works to ensure Service members,
their eligible Family members and overseas citizens
are aware of their right to vote and
have the tools and resources to successfully do so
- from anywhere in the world.

Elections are managed individually
by 50 States, U.S. territories
(American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico
and the U.S. Virgin Islands)
and the District of Columbia.

This equates to 55 sets of rules
for absentee voting by Uniformed
and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act
(UOCAVA) citizens,
but the basic steps are simple:

1. Citizens register to vote and request
an absentee ballot by filling out
the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA),
and mailing it to their local election official
in their State of legal residence.

2. The election official approves the FPCA,
disapproves the FPCA or requests
additional clarifying information.

3. Once the FPCA is approved,
the election official sends
an absentee ballot to the citizen.

4. The citizen completes, and returns
their voted ballot to their local election
official by their State's deadline.

To successfully vote absentee,
UOCAVA citizens should:
Allow plenty of time to request, receive,
and return their ballot

Notify their local election official each time
their mailing address changes

Become familiar with their State's absentee
voting deadlines and procedures
to make sure their ballot is
properly executed and will be counted

Complete a Federal Write-In Absentee
Ballot (FWAB) early
if unsure of the time required to return
the ballot to meet the State's deadline

Units located on
U.S. Army Garrison Japan Honshu installations
must coordinate with
the Hazardous Material Control Center
at Sagami General Depot
when purchasing hazardous materials.

Please procure recycled, bio-based or
environmentally preferable materials
when they are available in a timely manner,
they meet your unit’s performance standards
and are reasonably priced.

U.S. military personnel and facilities, both at home and
abroad, remain potential targets for those who wish to do
them harm.
Throughout our history, the U.S. Army has tackled the
toughest challenges.
If you see something, say something.

Adversarial forces adapt their tactics to avoid strength,
exploit weakness, and demonstrate their capability to attack
at the time and place of their choosing.
Individual awareness of suspicious activities is a key element
in the identification of potential threatening actions.

Criminal assault methods have evolved over the past century
to a present-day "insider" threat possibility.
Suspicious activity reporting is a fundamental element of the
programs in place to keep both the U.S. Army Japan and U.S.
Army Garrison Japan communities safe.

From deploying units around the area of responsibility to
Corps of Engineers projects throughout Japan, every activity,
every mission and every operation will have situational
awareness.

Both the iWATCH Army and iSALUTE reporting programs are
community tools in our arsenal against threats to force
protection.

We know our missions, our operations and our
responsibilities.
Report suspicious activities to your local Military Police or
ATO by calling: 263-3002 or 911 and or off post 046-407-3002
or 046-407-911

What is Ready Army?

Program’s proactive campaign to increase the
resilience of the Army community by informing of
relevant hazards and encouraging Soldiers,

What is Ready Army?
Through outreach and education Ready Army calls
our Army community to action and aims to create a
culture of preparedness that will save lives and
strengthen the nation.

Get a Kit
When disaster strikes, emergency responders
address the most critical needs and may not
even be able to get to an area until it is deemed
safe. While they work on behalf of the entire
community, it is your responsibility to ensure
your family’s well-being during times of crisis.
Emergency kits to sustain for 72 hours are an
essential tool for meeting that challenge.

• Report status through ADPAAS.
• Identify a continental U.S. contact.

Be informed
