Our Goal To ensure that all U.S. citizen victims and families get appropriate, timely assistance and care when faced with crises. Preparation
In the midst of a crisis, our efforts are devoted to keeping the local U.S. citizen community informed of developments and travel options.
- Provide information on country conditions, how and where to seek help
- Recommend U.S. citizens leave the foreign country
- In extreme conditions when commercial transportation is not available, provide departure assistance, as our resources permit
- Evacuation costs are ultimately the responsibility of the private citizen - U.S. law 22 U.S.C. 2671(b)(2)(a)
In an evacuation situation, the Consulate can not:
- Provide transportation assistance to pets
- Provide in-country transportation services to individuals or specific groups
- Pay for private citizens evacuation costs
- Bring friends or relatives who are not U.S. citizens on U.S. government chartered or non-commercial transportation
