Emergency Situations

When we think of the US State Department assisting Americans abroad, we usually picture political tensions or travelers who have run into trouble with the law.

However, the State Department’s Bureau of Consular Affairs will also assist travelers during an emergency situations, such as a hurricane.

The State Department sets up a task force to disseminate information on the crisis, including responding to relatives and friends who are inquiring about the safety of those abroad.

If you are involved in an emergency situation, go to your nearest embassy or consular office for your country and register. Bring along your passport and a location where you can be reached.

The Embassy can also assist you with these situations:

Lost Passport: If you lose your passport or have it stolen, first report the loss to the local police. Get a police declaration then report to the consul for a replacement passport. If you have extra passport photos, bring these along. It also helps to travel with a copy of the identification page of your passport tucked somewhere in your belongings. In case of a lost passport, this will speed along the reissuance. Know, however, that in these days of heightened security, obtaining a replacement passport will be a lengthy process.

Medical Assistance: Contact the consular office for a list of local doctors, dentists, and medical specialists. If you are injured or become seriously ill, a consul will help you find medical assistance and, at your request, inform your family or friends. The State Department cannot assist you in funding an emergency trip back to the States—that’s what travel insurance is all about.

Financial Assistance: Lose your money? The consular office can help you contact your family, bank, or employer to arrange for them to send you funds.
