AtHoc

The AtHoc network warning system is another way for base personnel to receive information. AtHoc is the purple icon in the lower right-hand corner of your desktop computer. When Liberty Warriors enter their personal "My Info" and "Devices" contact information, they will be capable of receiving phone calls and emails to their personal accounts in addition to desktop alert messages.

For detailed instructions for entering personal contact information, go to the 48th FW Command Post ICE page and review the 48th FW Alert Notification System slides.

Personnel who do not enter their contact information into AtHOC, to find out about delays and closures, you will need to dial the weather line 226-3541 or wait until your supervisor gives you a call.
