References B thru D establish requirements for mass warning and notification of installation personnel during crises or other emergency events.//RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN promulgates guidance for individual registration on the AtHoc Wide Area Alert Notification (WAAN) system. The AtHoc WAAN system provides Navy installations with an effective mass warning notification system during a crisis to warn affected Sailors and civilians who live and work on Navy installations. 2. Background: a. Crisis events ranging from natural disasters to the shootings at the Washington Navy Yard and Chattanooga have demonstrated the requirement to rapidly disseminate emergency information to personnel. In 2008, Navy deployed the AtHoc WAAN system with desktop software to meet this requirement at shore installations. b. The AtHoc WAAN system is installed on all Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) and ONE-Net workstations and benefits the workforce by providing real- time emergency alerts to the base population. User registration of contact information is critical to the effectiveness of phone, e-mail, and text notifications. c. REF A provides guidance, requirements, and assignment of responsibilities for WAAN implementation. 3. System description: a. The AtHoc WAAN system provides Computer Desktop Notification System (CDNS) and Automated Telephonic Notification System (ATNS) notifications. CDNS and ATNS are deployed to NMCI and ONE-Net users via the AtHoc self-service client application, which starts automatically on workstations at startup. b. All users are automatically registered to receive CDNS computer desktop pop-up messages at their workstation. CDNS is Common Access Card (CAC) enabled when users log into their NMCI or ONE-Net workstation. Individual registration is not required in order to receive CDNS alerts. c. ATNS requires manual user registration of telephone numbers and e- mail addresses through the AtHoc self-service client application to receive telephonic, e-mail, and text alerts. 4. All shore commands, activities, and installations are expected to: a. Ensure all assigned personnel with NMCI or ONE-Net accounts register their duty phone and duty e-mail with the AtHoc self-service client application, and highly encourage voluntary registration of personal contact information. b. Educate all concerned on the purpose of the AtHoc WAAN system, its value to mission assurance, and the benefit to individuals who work or live on Navy facilities. c. Incorporate the AtHoc self-service client registration procedure detailed in paragraph 5 of this message into standing installation and tenant activity welcome aboard, indoctrination, and check-in and out processes. d. Apply command and supervisor leadership and influence down to the deck plate level to supervise and monitor AtHoc WAAN registration. 5. AtHoc self-service client registration procedure. NMCI and ONE-Net users shall register contact information via the AtHoc self-service client using the following directions: a. Right-click on the AtHoc self-service client ('Purple Globe') icon in the users system tray located at the bottom right corner of the computer screen. b. Select "Access self-service" from the pop up menu. c. When the AtHoc self-service client opens, select the "My info" tab and update your last name, first name, and display name and save. d. Select the "Devices" tab and register your duty phone and duty e-mail and save. Voluntary registration of personal contact information is highly encouraged. e. This completes the registration process. 6.
