(KNOX) – Colonel Tim Monroe, commander of the 319th Reconnaissance Wing, took to social media Thursday to reflect on Wednesday’s lockdown at Grand Forks Air Force Base.

Colonel Monroe says it’s vital for base personnel and families to have a plan ready when ad hoc warnings occur. They must find alternative means of communication to keep 9-1-1 clear during emergencies.
