Assistance in Evacuation or Disaster

If you are caught in a natural disaster or civil disturbance, you should inform your relatives as soon as possible that you are safe or contact a U.S. Consul who will pass that message to your family through the Department of State.  U.S. officials will do everything they can to contact and advise you.  However, they must give priority to Americans who have been hurt or are in immediate danger.
