We hope you never have to use this information, but it is important that you are prepared for emergencies abroad.
We recommend that you complete the “Emergency Numbers and Information” box below. Keep this manual handy for easy reference.
Memorize your in-country address and phone number, as well as surrounding street names and landmarks.
Know how to contact police and emergency services wherever you go (for both your host country and any additional travel).
Calling 911 only works in the U.S.
Learn how to dial a phone number in your host location (this may sound elementary, but each new format may be confusing).
Reporting Emergencies:
Use your common sense to determine if you should seek help. Do not wait until it is too late.
For most situations, you should contact someone in the host country who can truly help you (your on-site program director, faculty leader, or a host family member). It does not make sense to call home and needlessly worry friends and family if they cannot help. Of course, at some point, contact them about your situation.
Report all situations to your on-site program director, faculty leaders, and the Office of International and Off-Campus Programs.
