Emergency Preparedness
Among the highest priorities of the Department of State and our missions abroad is the safety and security of locally-resident Americans overseas. In the past year the Department has intervened to assist in the evacuation of Americans from half a dozen countries throughout the world, as a result of serious political or economic unrest, natural disasters, and terrorist attacks. Hundreds of expatriate Americans each year are forced by personal emergencies (e.g. death or illness in the family) to return to the United States on short notice. Evacuations, especially under crisis conditions, are inevitably very disruptive and distressing for those involved. The State Department routinely provides standard advice to its employees on prudent steps to take to ensure they would be prepared in the event of such an evacuation. This and other advice on crisis preparedness is available on the Department’s website at https://travel.state.gov/.
Be Prepared
To prepare for an emergency situation, we recommend taking these elementary preparedness steps:
Create an emergency plan. This includes establishing meeting points, should any family members become separated, evacuation routes, and collecting a disaster kit. For more information on creating an emergency plan and a disaster kit, please visit www.Ready.gov.
Assemble all vital documents such as passports, birth and marriage records, vaccination, insurance and bank records in one readily accessible location.
Keep your passport and visa valid and enroll in the Embassy’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program. Non U.S. citizen, immediate family members should keep their U.S. visas current, and apply for visas with as much time in advance of planned travel as possible.
Decide how to contact family members if they are away from home, keeping in mind that phone service may be unavailable.
