The American Red Cross and the Navy/Marine Corps Relief Society are available for emergency aid. They can help with emergency communication, contacting people who will need to know where you are and what is happening and provide you with referrals to other agencies.
The Navy Marine Corps Relief Society can be reached by contacting a representative on any Navy or Marine Corps installation or any other military branch installation. All the military services and the American Red Cross have reciprocal agreements with the Navy/Marine Corps Relief Society to help people in emergency situations.
Emergencies do occur to people while in transit. Before you depart your current installation ensure you have all your important documents with you. Be sure they don't end up packed with the household goods. Examples of important documents are orders, passports and medical records.
Write down telephone numbers for your relatives, your sponsor and your new duty station's Command Duty Officer. They will be invaluable in case of an emergency while traveling. Also ensure you not only have contact information in your cell phone but also written down just in case something happens to your phone.
The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society or other service equivalent such as the Air Force Aid or Army Emergency Relief can provide interest free loans or grants to help with emergency needs such as emergency transportation, medical/dental bills, food, rent, disaster relief assistance, child care expenses and essential vehicle repairs.
Please ask your command for the current Command Financial Specialist.
