This NAVADMIN announces the semi-annual update/verification of personal information in the Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System (NFAAS) by all Navy military and civilian personnel that must be completed no later than 31 March 2017. NFAAS is the system utilized by the Navy to account for personnel and their families during widespread natural or man- made disasters. Accurate contact information of personnel and family members is required to facilitate a quick and accurate muster of personnel in affected areas. As directed in reference (a), updates of personal information will be verified as current by 1 April and 1 October annually. 2. This message applies to all Navy personnel, uniformed (active and reserve), Navy civilians, and OCONUS contractors in line with the following: a. It is required for all military personnel to update and verify contact information and all categories of dependents. b. It is mandatory for non-bargaining unit civilian employees to update their contact information. Providing dependents information is voluntary but highly encouraged. Failure to provide dependent information may exclude them from receiving potential benefits, if applicable. c. Bargaining unit civilian employees are highly encouraged to provide their contact and dependent information on a voluntary basis, until union notification and subsequent impact and implementation bargaining takes place (when applicable). 3. Echelon II commanders, region commanders, and region personnel accountability representatives will ensure widest dissemination to all subordinate, tenant commands, and detachments for action as required. All commanding officers (CO) and officers-in-charge (OIC) will ensure timely and accurate updates of Navy member and family member contact information as stated above. COs and OICs will also contact the human resources office to request applicable union notifications. This requirement also includes OCONUS contractors (must enter associated unit identification code). A report of those commands not in compliance with this NAVADMIN will be provided to the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations for review. All personnel may logon to NFAAS at https://navyfamily.navy.mil and update/verify contact information as required. 4. Additionally, each command will institute policies requiring personnel to update their NFAAS data during check-in and check-out as standard practice. Military members/dependents must also update NFAAS in any instance in which they make a permanent change of address. Civilian non-bargaining unit employees must update their contact information and are highly encouraged to update their dependents information on a voluntary basis whenever there is a change. Civilian bargaining unit employees are highly encouraged to update their information whenever there is a change. 5. For military and civilian members to update contact data, utilize the NFAAS site at https://navyfamily.navy.mil. Login and update member information under the "My Info" tab, "Contact Information" section, and update work location information of the sponsor. Update family member information under the "My Info" tab, "Family Member Info" section. Edit member and family member information as necessary and verify as current. All family members enrolled in the Exceptional Family Member Program must be identified as such. 6. The NFAAS site can also be accessed from any Android, IPhone, or blackberry mobile devices web browser. Although the application uses the same uniform resource locator address as the NFAAS website, when accessed via mobile device, the site will be optimized to allow easy viewing and navigation. The following limited capabilities are available via the mobile web application: a. Update sponsor contact information. b. Enter evacuation location information. c. Allow users to muster. d. Allow users to complete a needs assessment. 7. Command representatives can validate contact information by using the personnel tab in NFAAS and use the "Export To Excel" option. Column N contains the date the contact information was last updated. 8. A tool is available in NFAAS to allow commands to "pull" personnel into their UIC. This prevents information from incorrectly remaining in a previous UIC and not being accounted for in the current command within NFAAS. 9. Points of contact: a. NFAAS help desk/SPAWAR at (866) 946-9183 or via e-mail at nfaas(at)spawar.navy.mil. b. Navy Personnel Command emergency coordination center at (877) 414-5358 or via e-mail at npc.cat.captain(at)navy.mil. c.
