Purpose
The Barksdale AFB Emergency Mass Notification System (EMNS) is designed to rapidly disseminate important base emergency information to base personnel and the affected neighboring population. This system is targeted at loss of life situations such as active shooter or tornado on Barksdale AFB. The Barksdale AFB EMNS is a subscription-based service - each person who wishes to receive notices must individually register their contact information. Base military and civilian personnel, family members, volunteers and any other individual potentially impacted by Base events and actions are encouraged to register with the Barksdale AFB EMNS. All information disseminated via the Barksdale AFB is unclassified and authorized for release to the public. The Barksdale AFB EMNS is designed to supplement, not replace, existing methods for disseminating information. Any guidance provided via the EMNS is strictly advisory and does not supersede guidance provided by an individual's supervisory chain.
