Anniston Army Depot

Receive emergency information quickly with ALERT!


Jared Payne | ANAD Installation Emergency Manager

What is Alert!?

Alert! Mass Warning Notification System, or MWNS, sends registered users emergency warnings and other critical information, such as hazardous road conditions, reporting delays, and base closures due to severe weather.

The system notifies users in several ways: as a pop-up on their workstation computer, an email to work and home addresses, a text message to their cell phone, and a voicemail to their work, home and cell phones.

Alert! is owned by the U.S. federal government. This means that your Alert! account will follow your Army career — both as a civilian and service member overseas and in the U.S.

Keep your information up to date. If you move to a new office or get a new personal cell number, make sure to go into Alert! and provide your current information. Alert! is effective in reaching community members with critical messages in real time, but its success depends on users’ input.

Registration for Family Members & Retirees Family members of U.S. and non-U.S. military, civilian and contractor personnel whose normal place of duty is on an Army garrison or in an Army facility can also be registered in Alert!. To register, sponsors should add family member data on the Alert! self-registration page in the additional fields that have been provided. This is very important for family members that are also MWR employees as they are not usually provided a CAC.
