No matter how well you've planned, emergencies do
happen. What should you do in case of emergency while you are
traveling?
First of all make sure you have all your important papers with
you, not packed with your household goods. SITES has information on
all locations worldwide. You can customize a personal relocation plan
using SITES on the internet. Carry numbers for your commander, orderly room,
command post, and your sponsor. They can be invaluable in case of
emergency while in transit. It is important for you to contact
someone at your gaining unit and let them know where and how you are.
The
American Red Cross may be available for emergency assistance. Contact
the nearest chaper; phone numbers are usually listed 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's happening. Locate the nearest military installation
for help. You may be able to obtain assistance from the Air Force Aid
Officer at the Family Support Center, Navy Emergency Relief or Army Emergency
Relief.
