Before you travel to United States
Reconsider non-essential travel entirely until the situation eases.
If you must go, share a detailed itinerary with someone at home and agree on regular check-ins.
Check your government's current travel advisory for United States, and register your trip if they offer it.
Open the live map for United States right before you go and again on arrival, since the situation can change daily.
Save your country's emergency number and your embassy's contact, and keep a copy offline.
Make sure travel insurance covers medical evacuation and trip disruption.
Identify the nearest functioning airport and a backup exit route before you arrive.
Know the local alert system for natural hazards and where to shelter near where you're staying.
Travel essentials for United States
Regular travel insurance won't cover this. Most standard policies exclude war and armed conflict, and cover bought once United States is already under warnings typically won't pay out for them. If travel is truly essential, look at specialist high-risk cover instead of a normal policy, and read its security-evacuation terms line by line.
Plan communications for failure. Download offline maps of United States, keep your embassy's number and address on paper, and agree fixed check-in times with someone at home before you go.
Register, then follow officials. Enroll your trip with your government's traveler program, check its United States advisory daily, and treat official instructions as overriding anything an app tells you, including this one.
