U.S. Citizen Services
Country fact sheet
Country fact sheet provides information such as location of the U.S. Embassy, health conditions, political situations, and crime reports. If the situation in a country poses a specific threat to the safety and security of American citizens that is not addressed in the fact sheet for that country, the State Department may issue a Public Announcement alerting U.S. citizens to local security situations. If conditions in a country are sufficiently serious, the State Department may issue a Travel Warning recommending that U.S. citizens avoid traveling to that country.
These documents are available at: http://www.travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_947.html or by calling the State Department's Office of Overseas Citizen Services Toll Free at 1-888-407-4747.
