...If you fill the system as full as you can get it before starting, travel with every plastic jug you own full (with, okay, hot water to make sure you don't thermal-shock the motor), have plenty of time to get there and stop OFTEN to top things back up, don't wait to see HOT before you do, don't let yourself get in a situation where you're pushed by or tied up in busy traffic with nowhere to stop, and know full well the risks of what can happen to an engine with no coolant in it as you've been well warned by these others. Time to cool can be 20 minutes or more at a time if things do get really hot, before you can open the cap. But if things are really bad you may need to add BEFORE it cools off so prepare to get scalded. THEN once you get there if you've diluted things too much you could lose a radiator or worse from freezing if it sits too long outside the shop and you're in a single-digit or below-zero part of this great land.
