Plan ahead to help make emergencies less stressful than they need
to be. Map out your journey including planned rest stops for the driver. Don't
try to do too much in one day, remember everyone traveling including pets will
be under stress during the move. Carry important papers, phone numbers and
documents with you in a brief case. Carry your automobile insurance phone number
and identification number i.e. AAA, USAA, Mobil etc in case of car repair
emergency. Keep your sponsor's phone number handy. Call temporary lodging at the
gaining unit to make reservations upon your arrival. If temporary
lodging is not available, ask for recommendations and the phone numbers of local
motels and call for reservations. You never know when everything may be booked
for a convention! Keep track of the towns you have just passed
through for emergency location if your vehicle breaks down. If you have a
cellular phone, give the number to family members for emergencies.Army Emergency
