Ready Air Force

Prepare
Preparing in advance could keep an emergency from becoming a disaster for you and your family. When an emergency strikes, knowing what to do can save time, property and lives.

Considerations for all Military Personnel and Families

Get A Kit:

Assemble an emergency kit with essential supplies for survival, which includes medicines, special needs items and pet supplies

Store valuable documents in a portable and waterproof container.

Make A Plan:

Prepare multiple emergency plans for the various disaster situations (e.g., what to do, where to go, whom to call).

Communicate your emergency plan with everyone in your family.

Practice your emergency plan and update it every six months.

Be Informed:

Know what emergencies are most likely to affect you and your family.

Learn your local emergency warning system.

Educate yourself and your family on the different ways to prepare for a disaster.

Each installation has a Readiness and Emergency Management Flight that provides emergency management education materials and briefings to the military and family members.

They coordinate and integrate all activities to build, sustain, and improve the installation's ability to mitigate against, prepare for, respond to, and recover from threatened or actual natural disasters, acts of terrorism, or other man-made disasters.

Every military unit on the installation has an emergency management representative assigned to ensure the military members and their family members are informed of these actions.

The installation plan for emergency management is the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) 10-2. Military members should ensure their family members are aware of the who, what, when, where and how actions prescribed in the CEMP 10-2 and supporting checklists.

Report
Following certain catastrophic events, the secretary of the defense may direct all people affiliated with the Department of Defense in the affected area to check in with their command for accountability. If Internet connectivity is available, check in online using the Air Force Personnel Accountability and Assessment System at https://afpaas.af.mil. AFPAAS enables Air Force officials to account for assigned personnel and their family members and, if needed, provide assistance. AFPAAS links are also available on Military One Source.

Follow your command's established procedures to report your status. If a command or alternate command cannot be reached, perform the actions below:

Log onto AFPAAS at https://afpaas.af.mil. Family members will need their sponsor's date of birth and Social Security number to log in.

If a computer is not accessible, call the Air Force Personnel Readiness Cell at 1-800-435-9941, DSN 665-2020 or commercial at 1-210-565-2020.

**The following personnel have a responsibility to properly account for their status after an incident: all active duty Air Force personnel, Air Force Reservists and their family members (as listed in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System, or DEERS, database) and Air Force civilian employees, both civil service and nonappropriated funds employees and their family members.

Recover
If you or your family has been affected by a declared emergency and you need assistance, log in to AFPAAS, at https://afpaas.af.mil, and assess your needs. Follow the steps below to ensure you receive proper recovery assistance from the Air Force:

Account, Update and Verify: After reporting, verify that your contact information in AFPAAS is correct and current.

Fill out a Needs Assessment Survey: Indicate what type of assistance you are seeking (e.g., housing, finance, legal). Information provided in the survey will be used only by Air Force professionals and subject-matter experts to aid with recovery efforts. Details contained in the survey are confidential and will NOT be shared with anyone without permission.

Manage Recovery Process: A case manager may contact you based on the information provided in the survey. Together, you'll determine the appropriate response or assistance needs for your recovery efforts.
