Travel Warnings and Alerts
Travel warnings are issued when the State Department recommends deferral of travel by Americans to a country because of civil unrest, dangerous conditions, terrorist activity and, in some cases, because the U.S. has no diplomatic relations with the country and may have great difficulty in assisting Americans in distress. Travel Alerts are issued in order to provide information quickly about terrorist threats and other relatively short-term or transnational conditions that could pose significant risks to American travelers.
