• 
  Create a "Command Center" for your move. This is a central location for the details -- including "to-do" lists -- that relate to your move. This is also the place to keep all of your important documents (orders, medical records, Powers of Attorney, wills, birth certificates, passports, last statements for accounts if they aren't electronic). A large accordion-pleated binder works well for this. Even if you're keeping lists and other documents on your computer, be sure to make hard copies for your command center.
  

• 
  Prioritize. Rather than trying to do it all at once, make an "A" list, a "B" list, and a "C" list, depending on what needs to be done first. This can help you focus on the "deal-breakers" -- what's most important to get done.
  

• 
  Once you have orders in hand, contact your installation's Transportation Office to find out what is needed to set up the move. If the service member is deployed, the spouse will need a Power of Attorney to take care of the details. Be sure to access the "It's Your Move" pamphlet and other helpful official information about moving at www.move.mil
  

• 
  Visit your current installation’s A&FRC for the purpose of getting relocation information to help you with the move.
  

• 
  Contact the Homes.mil a housing referral network. Housing On-line Military Enterprise System is a public-facing IT system for community rental listings. This system is an OSD approved system and is supported by Enterprise Military Housing (eMH).
  

• 
  You can find out about the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) at the DoD site at http://defensetravel.dod.mil.
  

• 
  Connect with friends who have lived on your new installation or are living there now. They'll be able to answer many of your questions from a first-hand perspective. Ask friends at your current installation for names of people they know at your new location. Hopefully, your sponsor will be able to answer most of your questions. A good sponsor with a positive attitude makes a tremendous difference.
  

• 
  Find out about the new community. To get information on your next base, visit the MILITARY INSTALLATIONS website at Military One Source or take the direct link to www.militaryinstallations.dod.mil ,enter the desired installation and hit the “Go” button. The page contains resources for everyone who is relocating from one military duty station to another, as well as those working or living at or near a military installation. Installation information includes phone numbers, addresses, and email addresses of key personnel, as well as local community facts and organizational contacts.
  

• 
  You can also use the these additional community resources: Access the Web site for the Chamber of Commerce that serves your new town or area. See if your new town has a Web site by using the town and state as search terms. Go to the Citysearch site at www.citysearch.com for more information about your new community, including locations of the nearest ballparks and recreation areas.
  

• 
  Prepare a list of important phone numbers and addresses to keep with you as you move and when you arrive at your new location. Be sure to include: The phone number and address of the nearest hospital (Note: You can find this through www.citysearch.com., your town's Web site, or through you’re A&FRC.)
  

• 
  Acknowledge your children's feelings. Make sure they know that it's OK to feel anxious about the move. Even though you'll be busy, it's important to make time to sit and talk about what the move will mean for everyone.
  

• 
  Be a role model with a positive attitude. Try to convey to your child that, even though moving can be hard, it's also an adventure. Although it's important to acknowledge the stresses of moving, it's also important to focus on the good things about relocating: expanding your community of friends and learning about new places.
  

• 
  Give your child pictures of the new installation and surrounding area. Young children benefit from having a concrete idea of where they will be. Try to find photographs of your new community --- the installation, library, school, and recreation areas -- print them out, and give your child a folder to keep them in.
  

• 
  Try to keep routines intact. Even though you'll be extremely busy organizing the details of the move, it's important to keep in mind that children are comforted by the routines of daily life. By continuing to have your usual Friday-night popcorn, bedtime reading, Saturday walk to the library --- or whatever rituals you enjoy together --- you will reassure your child that many of the important things in life stay the same, even when you're getting ready to move.
  

• 
  Help a younger child make an address book with pictures, addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses. An older child or teenager will appreciate an address book, too. Knowing that they will be able to stay in touch with old friends easily can help make the move feel less stressful.
  

• 
  Visit online resources with your child that is specifically written for military children. MilitaryStudent.org at www.militaryonesource.mil/family-and-relationships offers a "Kid's Guide to Moving" for 6- to-12 years old.
  

Relocating can be especially stressful for teenagers, whose emotional states are often in some sort of turmoil even without the knowledge of a coming move. It's important to make sure your teenager is included in the decisions he/she can be included in from the start. It's also important to make sure your teenager understands the details of the move. "Helping Your Teenager Cope with Relocation," available on the Military OneSource Web site, offers strategies for parents relocating with teenagers.

• 
  Encourage your teenager to attend relocation briefings. Some installations may have relocation workshops for children and teens. Check your installation's relocation office or A&FRC to see what's available.
  

• 
  Tell your teenager about the move as soon as possible. You may be tempted to delay breaking the news, but it's best to tell your teenager right away. Knowing about the move well ahead of time will give your teenager time to prepare emotionally and to start planning.
  

• 
  Suggest that your teenager visit online resources for teenagers in military families, including Military Youth on the Move, at www.militaryonesource.mil/education-and-employment and www.militaryonesource.mil/family-and-relationships
  

• 
  Contact the coordinator or advisor for your service branch. This is your Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) coordinator (for the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps), and your Special Needs Advisor (Army).
  

• 
  Connect to the Department of Defense's Military One Source Special Needs/EFMP module. Go to www.militaryonesource.mil and click on "Families & Relationships," then on "Special Needs/EFMP."
  

• 
  Talk with a Military OneSource consultant at 1-800-342-9647 about special-needs concerns. The program can help you with a wide range of issues, including finding respite care and advocates within the school system at your new location, state contact information. It can also help you find medical professionals, and give you contact information for national networks and coalitions that provide support and information for families with special-needs children.
  

• 
  Ask for help. There are many resources available to help you, including other families on your installation. People will be happy to give you a hand by watching your children as you pack or even helping with some of the nitty-gritty details. Every military family knows the challenges of making a move and the importance of support from friends.
  

• 
  Make a point of spending time with friends and co-workers before you leave. Although you may feel as though you can't squeeze one more thing into your schedule, it's important to connect in person before you go.
  

• 
  Make time every day for some exercise. This can simply be a twenty-minute walk. Exercise, even for this amount of time, can be a great mind-clearer and stress-reducer.
  

• 
  Be sure to drink lots of water. It can be easy to become dehydrated when you're preoccupied with the details of a move. Try to keep water bottles at several locations in your home as you plan and pack.
  

• 
  Eat well! You may be so busy that you forget to eat meals --- which can lead to tiredness and lack of energy. Think about making a supply of sandwiches a day ahead and keeping them in the fridge along with some chopped up fruit and vegetables. Energy bars can come in handy, too --- you can keep one in your pocket or bag for emergencies.
  

• 
  Watch your back! You and other family members are likely to be lifting boxes on both ends of your move. It's important to understand the basics about keeping your back healthy in spite of lifting. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons public information site at orthoinfo.aaos.org. provides detailed information about safe lifting.
  

• 
  Military One Source: www.militaryonesource.mil/on-and-off-base-living/moving This site includes two helpful tools for planning a move. Search Military INSTALLATIONS for information about programs and services for over 250 military installations and communities. Create a customized plan and calendar using Plan My Move. This tool also includes checklists, contact lists, and other resources to help with a smooth transition.
  

• 
  Your installation's support services: Depending on your service branch, your Fleet and Family Support Center, Marine Corps Community Services, Airman and Family Readiness Center, or Army Community Service Center can provide you with information and relocation support.
  

• 
  Take your pet to the veterinarian three months before the move, if possible. This visit will give you time to address any health problems that your veterinarian may discover during the exam. Make sure all vaccinations are current and that your pet is healthy. Be sure to take the following steps:
  

• 
  Get a copy of your pet's veterinary records to take with you and ask your veterinarian if he or she can recommend a vet in your new community.
  

• 
  Ask your veterinarian for a rabies certificate. The certificate must be issued at least 30 days before departure. Make sure your dog's or cat's rabies tag is affixed to its collar.
  

• 
  Make an appointment to get your pet's health certificate. The health certificate must be issued within 10 days of departure.
  

• 
  Ask if your pet should be sedated during the move, especially if it will be traveling by airplane. Your veterinarian can give you enough medication to try it out before moving day to see how your pet reacts.
  

• 
  If your pet is on any medication, be sure to have an ample supply for the move. This way you can be sure not to run out of medication before you have a chance to visit a new vet.
  

• 
  Become informed about animal laws and regulations at your next location. Most states require pets to have an interstate health certificate. Hawaii and some foreign countries have quarantine periods. Certain countries prohibit dog breeds that are considered aggressive.
  

• 
  If your pet will require kenneling when you arrive at your new duty station, make arrangements well in advance. Coordinate the schedule with your sponsor.
  

• 
  Try to keep your pet's routine as regular as possible. Your pet may sense something is going on and become nervous in the days leading up to the move, especially if familiar objects are packed away. Sticking to regular walks, play times, and feeding times will help keep your pet calm and reassured.
  

• 
  Keep your pet at a friend's house or at a kennel on moving day. If that's not possible, put your pet in a quiet, safe place such as the bathroom with the door closed. This will reduce the risk that your pet will become frightened and run away, or hide in a box about to be put on the truck.
  

• 
  If your pet will be staying with you in a hotel or temporary military quarters, call ahead to make sure the facility accepts pets.
  

• 
  Provide identification for your pet. Mark the outside of the carrier with your name, destination address, and a phone number where you can be contacted. Make sure your pet's tag has the same contact information. Also, attach copies of the health, rabies, and import certificates (when required). And remember to include your pet's name so that attendants can talk to it.
  

• 
  Record your pet's size, weight, and identifying markings, and take color photographs of it. Keep these with you during the move in case you become separated.
  

• 
  Carry a copy of your pet's documents with you, including vaccination certificates, health certificates, and import certificates when required.
  

• 
  Mark your animal carrier with the words "Live Animal." Make sure the carrier is well ventilated and large enough to allow your pet to stand up and move around.
  

• 
  Feed your pet four to six hours before the trip. If you are traveling with a dog, give it plenty of exercise before leaving.
  

• 
  Make sure pet carriers or cages are secure and won't tip over during travel.
  

• 
  Keep some favorite toys or a blanket with your pet. Being able to smell some of its favorite, familiar things may help reduce stress. It can also be a good idea to put a T-shirt or other piece of clothing recently worn by you or another of your pet's owners in the animal carrier.
  

• 
  Have supplies on hand for cleanups. Bring paper towels, a sponge, or pre-moistened towels. For dogs, be sure to bring a "pooper scooper" and plastic bags for disposing of waste. For cats, have a litter box handy.
  

• 
  If you have exotic or unusual pets, ask your local pet store or your veterinarian for more detailed moving instructions.
  

• 
  Groom your pet before the trip with a bath, combing, and nail trimming.
  

• 
  Be sure to bring along some favorite toys and dishes.
  

• 
  If you need to feed your pet during the trip, take along water and bland food from your old home. Different food and water can give your pet an upset stomach. Try to arrange your travel and feeding times so that your pet isn't traveling on a full stomach.
  

• 
  Keep your animal contained or leashed at all times. Keep your dog on a leash when bringing it outside to relieve itself during the trip. Pets can become confused in strange places and may run off.
  

• 
  Avoid temperature extremes for all pets. Don't leave pets alone in the car for more than a few minutes. Use a sturdy, insulated carrier to help regulate the temperature when you're traveling. If you're traveling with a bird, keep the cage covered but well ventilated.
  

• 
  Provide plenty of fresh water. Small caged animals, such as gerbils and hamsters, can become dehydrated easily. Make sure your small animals have water at all times. For dogs and cats, provide fresh water at each stop, if traveling by car.
  

• 
  Confine pets to a single room while unpacking and setting up your new home. Cats especially may become nervous in new surroundings and will feel more secure if kept in a room with their food and water dishes, bedding, and litter box.
  

• 
  Give your pet something familiar from your old home. An old blanket, a T-shirt of yours, or anything else that carries the scent of your former home will help your pet feel more secure.
  

• 
  Keep your cat indoors until you are settled in. If you have an outdoor cat, give it at least several weeks to become used to its new surroundings before letting it outside.
  

• 
  Walk your dog around your new home and neighborhood. Allow your dog to become familiar with its new territory.
  

• 
  Make an appointment with your pet's new veterinarian. Your vet will be a good source of information about local pet laws and will be able to tell you where to find the closest 24-hour emergency pet clinic.

The Holland Center, opened in 2005, was designed with three principle priorities in mind: to build a concert hall with exceptional acoustical abilities; to construct a facility that draws the community into the arts; and to achieve a "building of distinction" that will last for generations. They have succeeded: “Omaha now has one of the country’s best-sounding new concert halls.” – Dallas Morning News.
