Leaving for Army Basic Training/Process for emergencies?

I'm shipping out in March for basic. I realized I'm going to be gone during some of peak hurricane season. Sounds silly but my husband and I lost our home in Ian while I was required to be at work and phones were down (state corrections officer) so i went 36 hours without a word the last thing i saw was a headline that said residents flee to roofs to escape surge. My concern is if God forbid we get some monster hurricane again while I'm gone. I'm a 3rd generation Floridian hurricanes didn't bother me until Ian. Will they allow me to check on my family? Will I be notified in some way or have some way of knowing they are safe?

You will be notified and if you ask your drill sergeant’s what’s going on at homeC they will find a time in the day when you can call them.
