What To Do If An Emergency Occurs While on TDY
If an emergency situation discontinues or interrupts a TDY travel assignment, additional travel and transportation expenses may be allowed. If an emergency situation occurs while on official travel, travelers should contact their supervisor for guidance on allowances and instructions on making travel arrangements. Travelers who have begun their travel and find themselves needing to make a change should contact their Commercial Travel Office using the toll-free number listed on their travel itinerary. For all other travel questions, contact the Travel Assistance Center (TAC) by submitting a help desk ticket through the Tickets section of Travel Explorer (TraX), www.defensetravel.dod.mil/Passport or by calling 1-888-Help1Go or If calling from overseas, use DSN to dial directly. Before traveling, American citizens traveling or residing overseas are encouraged to register their travel plans with the appropriate U.S. Embassy or Consulate on the State Department's travel registration website, https://travelregistration.state.gov/. Travel registration is a free service provided by the U.S. Government for U.S. citizens who are traveling to, or living in, a foreign country. Registration allows you to record information about your upcoming trip abroad that the Department of State can use to assist you in case of an emergency. Additional information can be found at the State Department's website at http://www.travel.state.gov. Travelers can also obtain up-to-date information on security conditions by contact State Department's U.S.-based call center from 8:00 am - 8:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time, M-F, at 1-888-407-4747, or if calling from outside the U.S., at 1-202-501-4444.
