Supporting the Relocation, Travel, and Lifestyle Needs of the American Military Family

Make sure that all your important papers are with you, not packed with your household goods.  Also make sure that you have phone numbers for your Commander, Orderly Room, and your sponsor in case you have an emergency while you are traveling.  It is a good idea to hand carry your copy of SITES for quick reference.

Wherever you might be, the American Red Cross is there to lend emergency aid.  Contact the American Red Cross nearest you to get assistance.  You will find their number in the white pages of the local phone directory.  They can sometimes help with emergency financial assistance and contacting individuals that will need to know where you are and what is happening. Air Force Aid Society can provide financial emergency assistance based upon need, through either loans or, when there is a particular hardship, grants.  Categories of financial assistance include: Basic living expenses (food, shelter, utilities), medical not covered by TRICARE, dental not covered by DDP, funeral expenses, emergency transportation, essential car repairs, pay and allotment problems, disasters and assistance for widows, mothers and children.
