SITUATIONAL AWARENESS ON OUR KATRINA AFFECTED FAMILIES.  THIS EFFORT
WILL HELP TFNF PRIORITIZE EFFORTS AND ALLOCATE RESOURCES TO HELP
THOSE WITH THE GREATEST NEEDS SOONEST.  THIS NAVADMIN PROMULGATES
SPECIFIC GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES FOR THE TFNF NEEDS ASSESSMENT

ALTHOUGH BOTH COMMANDS AND INDIVIDUALS MAY HAVE PROVIDED DATA IN
EARLIER KATRINA RECOVERY EFFORTS, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT DATA ON ALL
NAVY FAMILY VICTIMS OF KATRINA IS VERIFIED IN ORDER FOR TFNF TO
MAXIMIZE THE SUCCESS OF EFFORTS.  THEREFORE, ALL COMMANDS IN THE
TFNF AOR AND ALL OTHER COMMANDS WITH KATRINA AFFECTED FAMILIES MUST
PROACTIVELY ENGAGE IN THIS EFFORT.  USE ALL MEANS AVAILABLE TO
COMMUNICATE THIS REQUIREMENT TO ALL NAVY FAMILY MEMBERS  (NAVY CIVIL
SERVICE AND NON-APPROPRIATED FUND CIVILIANS, ACTIVE DUTY/SELRES
MILITARY, AND THEIR FAMILIES).
6.  FOR COMMANDING OFFICERS:  IF YOU OR YOUR PERSONNEL HAVE ALREADY
BEEN CALLED BY A MEMBER OF TFNF OR SOMEONE FROM COMNAVPERSCOM TO
ASSESS THEIR NEEDS IN RESPONSE TO HURRICANE KATRINA WE ASK THAT YOU
STILL LOG INTO BOL TO VERIFY THE INFORMATION IS CORRECT AND MAKE ANY
CHANGES.  THOSE PHONE CALLS WERE INITIATED TO ASSESS YOUR NEEDS AS A
CONTINUING PROCESS, NOT AS THE FINAL CONTACT.  ADDITIONALLY, YOU
WILL BE ABLE TO VIEW NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR YOUR COMMAND AS IT EVOLVES
VIA BOL COMMAND ACCESS OUTLINED IN PARAGRAPH 3.
7.  FOR ALL FAMILY MEMBERS:  THE PURPOSE OF THE BOL FAMILY MEMBER
PROFILE IS TO RAPIDLY COLLECT/COLLATE EXISTING INFORMATION
MAINTAINED BY THE NAVY IN OTHER OFFICIAL DATABASES (SUCH AS DEERS)
TOGETHER WITH THE MOST CURRENT FAMILY LOCATOR INFORMATION AVAILABLE
SO THAT WE MAY RAPIDLY AND EFFECTIVELY ACCOUNT FOR OUR FAMILIES AND
ADDRESS FAMILY NEEDS TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY DURING THESE
CHALLENGING TIMES.  THIS INFORMATION WILL BE SAFEGUARDED USING
ESTABLISHED/EVOLVING INFORMATION SECURITY PRACTICES AND IN KEEPING
WITH ESTABLISHED GOVERNMENT PRIVACY ACT PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES.
THESE PROCEDURES WILL EVOLVE TO SUPPORT ALL NAVY FAMILIES AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE.
