If you experience an emergency while in transit to your new duty
station, always call your new command to tell them about the situation and
request advice if needed. If possible, look for the nearest military
installation for assistance. Call AAA if you are a member, or ask the local
information operator (411) for the name and phone number of a hospital, or ask
for road service information, depending on the emergency. If you need Emergency
Assistance, make an appointment with the Financial Specialist, Building 5124,
DSN: 789-2387 or Commercial (435) 831-2387. The Financial Specialist, also the
Army Emergency Relief Specialist, provides interest-free loans or grants for
emergency transportation, funerals, medical/dental bills (patient's share),
food, rent, utilities, essential vehicle repairs, as well as help when disaster
strikes. The Financial Specialist can also provide financial
counseling.
The American Red Cross office provides through Army Emergency
Relief interest-free loans for emergency travel in conjunction with emergency
leave orders. Additional assistance may be provided to avoid privation and basic
maintenance, including but not limited to food shelter and clothing. Emergency
communication is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by calling (801)
