Notes -
What edgecityred said is good stuff. Also:
Your secondary ID is other people that have not lost their IDs and are willing to make a lot of calls and spend money for you.
Parent / spouse work best since they will have a reason for knowing you and a paper trail that connects you.
Your employer/ HR department if you are traveling for business reasons.
A good friend might help you in some ways that require spending money, but not as much on identity things. Unless you pre-plan giving them documents or access to your private stuff.
If you are traveling outside of your country your embassy can also help you out.
You will need to memorize their numbers or have a way of contacting them in case of an emergency.
