Additional notes:

In order to have an effective AF EMNS capability, all Military and Civil Service members must update their EMNS profile contact information. IAW AFMAN 10-206, para 8.14.2, It is mandatory for all military (REGAF and Air Reserve Component), and civilians (bargaining/non-bargaining) to provide an after-hours contact number or personal email emergency notification information. Providing after-duty hours emergency notification information for contractors and non-appropriated funds personnel is strictly voluntary, but is highly encouraged. Foreign Nationals may participate and may remove themselves from EMNS at any time. Bases/units must add a step to out-processing checklists for civilian and military members to ensure removal from EMNS when no longer assigned to the installation.

The AF EMNS Enterprise Android/IOS Mobile App will be available after your MAJCOM has completed migration. If you currently have the Mobile App installed, you will need to uninstall and reinstall with the new org code. (TBD)

To receive alerts at TDY locations, log into a local client and update your contact information in the “My Profile” tab. To discontinue alerts from your TDY location, you will need to remove all contact info (email, phone, sms) prior to departure.
