The emergency number is probably not 911. There may be different numbers for on and off the installation. You and your family should know the right numbers to use.
Your emergency kit should include things like passports, birth abroad certificates for children born overseas, cash in the local currency, a card with local translations of basic terms, and an electrical current converter.
If you live off base, learn a few key phrases in the local language and get to know neighbors who could let you know about an ongoing emergency.
For an emergency that happens “outside the fence,” response (e.g., evacuations or shelter instructions) will be led by the local government. Cooperate with the local responders and follow their instructions.
