Air Force Emergency Alert System
The Air Force plans a cloud-based, enterprise-wide Emergency Mass Notification System (EMNS) to send alert notifications to assigned military personnel, family members, and contractors. The EMNS is intended to increase situational awareness for Airmen, families, and contractors regardless of physical location so they can take protective measures during emergencies.
One-Minute Information Collection Burden
The proposed information collection would ask up to 1,000,000 individuals or households to respond once, with an average burden of 1 minute per response. That totals 1,000,000 annual responses and 16,667 annual burden hours for respondents.
