U.S. State Department Travel Advisories and Warnings
The U.S. State Department issues a "Worldwide Caution - Public Announcement" whenever international events merit an advisory. The most recent advisory may be viewed on their website at: http://travel.state.gov

Travel advisories for all countries may be viewed on the State Department's website, http://travel.state.gov/travel/warnings.html

This is the State Department's website for ALL types of advisories, whether "consular information sheets", "public announcements", or "travel warnings". Please note that the term "Caution" (as in this "Worldwide Caution") should not be confused with a "Warning", which is the State Department's strongest category of advisory.

To subscribe (free) to the "DOSTRAVEL" announcements, see http://www.state.gov/www/listservs_cms.html

You can find additional information on health, safety and security in education abroad by going to http://www.secussa.nafsa.org/safetyabroad/default.html
