Mayor Tetsuji Matsumoto and Maj. Gen. Charles L. Hudson shake hands after signing a local implementation agreement Jan. 17 at Camp Kinser.

The agreement allows the residents of Urasoe City immediate and direct passage to higher ground or shelter via routes that pass through designated parts of the installation. The agreement helps maintain the strong relationship between the citizens and military personnel through their common goal to create a safer, more prepared community, according to Hudson.
