(1) To meet an emergency situation, such as death or critical illness of a member of his or her family;

(2) To obtain medical care not available in a facility maintained by the department;

(3) To seek employment or training opportunities, but only when:

(4) To make residential plans for parole which require his or her personal appearance in the community;
