Relocation

Relocating is more than just moving your belongings to a new location. It may mean starting over - new job, new home, new friends, new school, etc. To alleviate the stress associated with living in an unfamiliar environment, AWS recommends learning as much as possible about the new location and community.

AWS's resource section is devoted to guiding its customers towards learning more about domestic and international relocations. The following reference and resource links are designed to provide the family with valuable information and tools to assist with the settling-in process.
