ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- Throughout the year, one of the most likely threats to the installation comes in the form of inclement weather.

KNOW WHERE TO GO
All ANAD buildings are government property and are the direct responsibility of the ANAD Commander.
During a tornado emergency, each building designated as severe weather safe areas will be open for shelter.
Building owner/coordinators will plan for and accommodate people who seek shelter in their Emergency Action Plan.
For a complete list of buildings which have been designated as depot tornado safe areas, contact the Depot Operations Office or speak with your supervisor.
ALERT! SYSTEM COMING TO ANAD
The Army is currently in the process of deploying its mass warning and notification system, known as Alert!, to all installations which don't currently use it.
This includes Anniston Army Depot.
Deadline for completion of the deployment is Feb. 28, 2020.
Alert! is being deployed by teams from Consequence Management within Tank-automotive and Armaments Command's Integrated Logistics Support Center.
The teams must complete deployment to 75 installations within the next year.
At ANAD, Alert! will replace the AtHoc mass warning system. This system, identified by the purple globe on computers, has enabled the installation to push information to the workstation computers, cell phone, home phones and emails of the workforce.
Alert! will have similar capabilities.
As the data migration from AtHoc to Alert! is scheduled, ANAD's emergency management operations will keep the workforce updated and informed.
Mass warning systems, such as these, are a good way to ensure the workforce is informed during an emergency or an inclement weather event which impact the depot.
If you have not placed information in the AtHoc system, you are encouraged to do so. For additional information about AtHoc, call 256-235-4769 or speak with your supervisor.
