COLUMBUS, Ohio –
If inclement winter weather strikes the central Ohio area, there are several ways Defense Supply Center Columbus employees can find out about changes in the installation’s operating status.
The installation commander and site director make the call no later than 3 a.m. Some employees commute as far away as an hour or more one-way so time is of the essence when making these important decisions.
Employees can be notified of changes in DSCC operating status on their mobile or home numbers, text or personal email by signing up for the AtHoc computer-based emergency notification system. To make sure personal information is up-to-date, log into AtHoc, by clicking the purple AtHoc logo located at the bottom of your computer screen. Once AtHoc opens, click on “Access Self Service” to review and/or update email addresses and contact numbers.
If there are any changes in operating status, the home page of the new DLA Land and Maritime public website will display a change in operating status. The page can be found at www.dla.mil/landandmaritime.
Employees can also call the DSCC Information/Hazardous Weather Hotline at (614) 692-1800.
Columbus-area television stations (WCMH NBC 4, WSYX ABC 6 and WBNS CBS 10) run installation delays or closure announcements both on-air and on their web pages.
