No matter how well you plan, emergencies happen.
Carry
your important papers (orders, ID cards, passports, travelers checks, etc.) with
you--not packed in your luggage or your household goods. Write down
telephone numbers for your relatives, your sponsor, your gaining unit orderly
room, and the command post here at Mountain Home. They will be
invaluable in case of an emergency while traveling.
The American Red
Cross and the Air Force Aid Society are available for emergency
aid. Red cross phone numbers are usually listed in the white pages of
the local phone directory. They can help with emergency financial
assistance and contacting people that will need to know where you are and what's
happening.
The Air Force Aid Society can be reached by contacting a
representative on any Air Force installation or any military installation if
there are no Air Force bases nearby. All the military services and
the American Red Cross have reciprocal agreements with the Air Force Aid Society
to help people in emergency situations.
Always have some savings set
aside for emergencies.
Plan for the unexpected and it probably won't
happen.A number of agencies or people on base are available to assist you during
emergencies. Your First Sergeant and your individual orderly rooms
will probably be your first points of contact during an emergency.
