The ALERT mass-warning notification system sends registered users emergency warnings and other critical information, such as hazardous road conditions, reporting delays, and base closures due to severe weather. The notifications are mostly local, but may also be theater-wide.
The system notifies users in several ways: as a pop-up on your workstation computer, an email to work and home addresses, a text message to your cellphone, and a voicemail to work, home and cell phones.
Keep your information up to date. If you move to a new office or get a new personal cell number, make sure to go into ALERT and provide your current information. ALERT is effective in reaching community members with critical messages in real time, but its success depends on users' input.

Registration for Family Members & Retirees

This is very important for family members that are also NAF employees as they are not usually provided a CAC.
