With the 2006 Hurricane season upon us, it is my intention that NOAA
will be able to quickly account for the safety and security of its
employees and their families, as well as our contractor employees
during emergency situations. To help facilitate our ability to account
for our employees’ safety and status during periods of emergency
(natural or otherwise), we have established the following:
Website Check-In: If you are
directed or forced to evacuate your current location to an alternate
site, please contact us as soon as possible to advise us that you are
safe and with a means of contacting you. One means is the web-based
check-in system that can be accessed at http://www.homelandsecurity.noaa.gov,
or from the NOAA home page (http://www.noaa.gov).
Toll-Free Call-In Number (1-888-NOAA-911
or 1-888-662-2911): In addition to the website, employees and
contractors can report their status via this toll free number. This number should be used by employees, their
families, contractors and friends to report the whereabouts of another
NOAA employee or contractor.
Information Website: To
provide employees and contractors with relevant information during an
emergency, we established the following web pages, http://www.homelandsecurity.noaa.gov and http://www.wfm.noaa.gov. These websites will be updated on a continual basis
to ensure employees and contractors are able to get the information
they need in a timely manner.
Please visit http://www.fema.gov/areyouready/
for additional information to help you prepare yourself before, during
and after an emergency.
Need Help: If you are experiencing unique
situations and don’t know where to turn for help, please contact us at Employee.status@noaa.gov
with your specific question or need. While this e-mail address will
generally not be staffed on a 24x7 basis, we promise to acknowledge
your e-mail by the next business day, and to address your emergency
situation as quickly as possible.
