| Having an “Emergency Action Plan” or “EAP” when traveling is recommended. A basic plan would include an emergency contact list of people to call in
the event of an accident or illness, your health and/or travel insurance papers, copies of your passport/visa(s), names of any medications or foods
that you are allergic to, financial information required for replacement of traveler’s checks or debit/credit cards (kept confidential). Give copies
of your EAP to someone at home in the USA such as your family members/relatives/guardians, friends, power of attorney, secretary or other. Be alert
and aware of your surroundings and make a mental note of exit routes in hotels and on modes of transportation. Remember do not use elevators in the
event of a fire or emergency evacuation from a building. Calling and/or registering with the US Embassy or US Consular General in the country you are
visiting is wise especially for longer stays and if you are traveling without a group or guide. In some cases the US Bureau of Consular Affairs can
assist with arrangements for emergency medical needs (but not with costs). In the event of political upheaval and terrorism the US State Dept. sets
up a task force to help provide assistance to US citizens abroad. And remember that travel insurance is strongly recommended.
