If you need emergency assistance, you can expect to get help from your installation, your branch of service resources. There are programs to support you in a variety of situations, including victim assistance, emergencies en route and service-specific relief societies. Below, you’ll find types of assistance, contact information, and detailed procedures and guidance to help you through any tough circumstances that you or your family may face.
If you have a financial emergency contact the MacDill Military and Family Readiness Center at 813-828-0145, option 1, for guidance and possible emergency financial assistance. If you have an American Red Cross verified emergency which requires you to take emergency leave and you do not have the financial means to do so, the Air Force Aid Society, Army Emergency Relief, and the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society can provide emergency financial assistance to military personnel and their eligible family members for airfare, travel expenses in privately owned vehicles, etc., on a case-by-case basis.
The relief societies can also provide emergency financial assistance for other expenses based upon need.
Categories of financial assistance include:
The American Red Cross can also help in times of emergency. Quick communications with home about family emergencies is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This includes verification of death or serious illness of immediate family, birth announcements to parents deployed overseas, and health and welfare reports resulting from a loss of communication over an extended period of time. The American Red Cross is also available for emergency assistance: 877-272-7337.
Ensure you have the phone numbers for your Commander, Commander Support Staff, your sponsor, and lodging in your contacts on your cell phone. These numbers can be invaluable in case of an emergency while in transit.
Ensure you have paper or electronic versions of your important documents with you (orders, passports, Leave and Earnings Statement, bills, etc.).
The Military and Family Readiness Center can provide you with on-base and local area information. For questions, email the M&FRC at FSC.Frontdesk@us.af.mil.
The Salvation Army is another good source of information and assistance in an emergency. Contact the local telephone directory for the local for contact information.
Planning for your Permanent Change of Station is critical. The more you know the easier it will be and the better prepared you are to deal with the unexpected. This is especially important while you and your family are traveling across country or around the world. Emergencies can happen even with the best of planning, and usually at the most inopportune time.
