This Order establishes policies and responsibilities regarding the management and use of the GSA National Alert and Accountability System (NAAS). NAAS ensures GSA leadership has an effective, integrated, and flexible crisis alert and accountability system with the ability to reach GSA employees via multiple communication modes in a uniform manner.
