Insurance and investment plans have a place in the estate plan of many retiring members, but as a supplement to SBP not as a replacement for SBP. Additional details are available by calling McCloy at (801) 777-2863. Virtual Record of Emergency Data for active duty It's imperative that every Airman — active duty, Guard and Reserve — fill out their emergency contact information. The information is essential for our casualty notification teams in case an Airman becomes incapacitated or worse yet, killed. vRED is the only way for Airmen to provide personal emergency information. By filling out the form from any Internetconnected computer, Air Force casualty officials have immediate access to critical information needed to contact family members if an Airman becomes missing, suffers a serious illness or injury, or dies. Accurate and current family-contact information prevents unnecessary delays. It also avoids hours or even days of uncertainty during which casualty teams are sometimes left to track down next of kin. The online application asks questions such as which relatives should be contacted and what their addresses are. This process takes most people about 20 minutes. For more information, call the Casualty Office, (801) 777-2863.
