5/21/2013 - JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas (AFNS) -- Air Force Personnel Center officials activated the Air Force Personnel Accountability and Assessment System to ensure Airmen and their families in the Moore and Oklahoma City, Okla., are accounted for and have access to assistance, AFPC officials said today.
AFPAAS is a web-based application used to account for and assess the needs of the Air Force total force including active-duty Airmen, selected Reserve members, Department of the Air Force and non-appropriated fund civilian employees, Air Force contractors overseas, and family members affected by disasters, said Brian Angell, the AFPC personnel readiness chief.
"Following the devastating tornados in Oklahoma, the Air Force Crisis Action Team directed 100 percent accountability of all personnel residing, on leave in or on temporary duty to the impacted area," Angell said. "All Airmen must account for themselves and for their family members, and if Airmen unable to do so, their units can account for them."
Airmen affected by the Oklahoma tornado should log into AFPAAS and complete a needs assessment survey that tells their leaders that they need help.
"The Tinker Airman and Family Readiness Center has activated the Emergency Family Assistance Center and teams of volunteers are standing by to help our Airmen and their families," Angell said.
First, however, Airmen must go to https://afpaas.af.mil, login, account for themselves and complete the needs assessment, if applicable. AFPAAS can also be accessed from the Air Force Portal, and the Air Force Personnel Center website at www.afpc.af.mil.
"Tornados are not uncommon this time of year, and summer hurricanes will soon be upon us," Angell said. "Airmen need to become familiar with AFPAAS and ensure they can access the site if necessary before a disaster occurs."
