JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. –
AtHoc is the new emergency notification system used on Joint Base Charleston. AtHoc makes it possible to warn all personnel on the installation of an emergency within 10 minutes and can be used for notification of Force Protection Condition changes and anti-terror warnings, natural disaster alerts for approaching tornados or hurricanes or other emergency situations such as an active shooter. AtHoc provides the capability to send out real time information so personnel know what actions to take in times of an emergency. AtHoc can also send out alerts through work and personal email, home or cell phones and work phone numbers as well as the giant voice and text messages.
AtHoc will only be as efficient and effective as each individual makes it. The JB Charleston AtHoc policy letter makes it mandatory for all military and government civilians to enter their work and home phone numbers as well as work email into the system. All military and "key" or "emergency essential" civilians must also enter their after-hours contact information and anyone issued a government cell phone must list the number under a phone device and text messaging device.
