When winter weather hits the area, emergency notifications through AtHoc can provide critical safety information.
446th Airlift ‘Rainier’ Wing Reserve Citizen Airmen and many civilian employees are required to update after-hours emergency contact information into an updated version of the base’s emergency mass notification system by Feb. 15, 2019.
The current AtHoc software for McChord Field (purple globe) will be replaced Feb. 22 by a new Blackberry AtHoc system (white globe).
To update your information, right-click on the white globe and select “Access Self-Service.” This will open a browser window where users can input work and personal email addresses and phone numbers, select if they’re members of groups such as the Emergency Operations Center or Crisis Action Team, and can even add contact information for their family members, so they will receive notifications as well.
After updating contact information using a government computer, users can download the Blackberry AtHoc app from either the Apple or Google app stores. After opening the app, users should enter the personal email address they provided into the app and then verify that email address by clicking on the link in an email that they will receive.
When prompted whether to open the link in the AtHoc app, users should agree. Users will then be asked to enter their organization’s code. For JBLM, users should enter “JBLM,” without quotes. The system will then connect the user to Joint Base Lewis-McChord’s AtHoc system through the app.
Currently, the app serves as a way to receive messages through AtHoc, but an expanded feature set is planned for the future.
For more information, contact the Wing Operations Center at 253-982-1171.
