• Conclusion

52
General

• Army Disaster Personnel Accountability and
  Assessment System (ADPAAS) is a web-based,
  user-friendly system that enables the Army to
  report accountability of personnel and families
  after catastrophes/ emergencies. 

53
Why Needed?

• ADPAAS was built based on a directive from the
  DoD to address the personnel accountability
  issues that all the Services experienced during
  Hurricane Katrina. After the hurricane hit, the
  Services realized it had no procedures in place
  to gain and maintain accountability of personnel
  and their family members. The ADPAAS is the
  Army's way of accounting for personnel and
  families after catastrophes/emergencies.

54
ADPAAS Objective

• The objective of ADPAAS is to provide information
  on the status of Army personnel affected by a
  disaster so decisions for delivering emergency
  assistance and the prioritization of recovery
  efforts and resources can be focused on the
  recovery and return to stability of the Force.

55
Family Member/Soldier Actions

• All Soldiers, civilians, family members and
  overseas defense contractors must report their
  status and whereabouts following any natural
  /man-made disaster, if directed to do so by the
  Secretary of Defense. 
• Report using the internet (https//adpaas.army.mil
  /) or calling the toll-free Army Information
  Hotline number (1-800-833-6622). 

56
ADPAAS Exercise

• Department of the Army conducted an exercise on
  18-22 Jun 09 to test ADPAAS in U.S. Army,
  Pacific.
• USARPAC completed 100 percent accountability of
  all personnel in 36 hours, exceeding the goal of
  attaining 97 percent accountability within 72
  hours of notification.

57
Lesson Learned

• Greatest lesson learned from exercise is majority
  of Soldiers and their family members
  information in Defense Enrollment Eligibility
  Reporting System (DEERS) is outdated.

58
DEERS Update

• Is your information current? Check it out at
  https//adpaas.army.mil/.
• Soldiers can now update their information in
  DEERS on line at https//www.dmdc.osd.mil/appj/add
  ress/indexAction.do

59
Conclusion

• As a reminder ADPAAS enables the Army to
  account for personnel and families after
  catastrophes/emergencies and aids in decisions
  for delivery of emergency assistance and the
  prioritization of recovery efforts.
