Wright-Patt personnel urged to update AtHoc profiles by Feb. 22
Summary
Right-clicking on the white globe and selecting “Access Self-Service” 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. Besides reliability, the new AtHoc will allow for all AFMC bases to connect with the each other’s systems, as well as commands that have historically been left off Wright-Patterson notifications due to technical limitations, such as the Air Force Institute of Technology. Users who don’t update their information in the new AtHoc system before Feb. 22 will stop receiving all emergency notifications from the base, according to Fraser. If the white globe icon is missing from the system tray, the user should contact his or her Communications Focal Point or submit a trouble call ticket to have the new AtHoc installed through the VESD shortcut on the government computer’s desktop. Minimum registration fields include: member name, appropriate hierarchy (e.g., organization), duty status (e.g., active/reserve/civilian), work e-mail, and after-hours phone contact.
