Foreign Travel Information
The U.S. State Department recommends that you register with them before traveling abroad so that they can assist you if there is a crisis where you are traveling, or if there is a family emergency at home.
https://travelregistration.state.gov
Other tips from the State Department include:
1. Sign passport, and fill in the emergency information:
Make sure you have a signed, valid passport, and a visa, if required, and
fill in the emergency information page of your passport.

2. Leave copies of itinerary and passport data page: Leave copies of your
itinerary, passport data page and visas with family or friends, so you can
be contacted in case of an emergency.
3. Check your overseas medical insurance coverage: Ask your medical
insurance company if your policy applies overseas, and if it covers
emergency expenses such as medical evacuation. If it does not, consider
supplemental insurance.
4. Familiarize yourself with local conditions and laws: While in a foreign
country, you are subject to its laws. The State Department web site at
http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1765.html has
useful safety and other information about the countries you will visit.
5. Take precautions to avoid being a target of crime: To avoid being a
target of crime, do not wear conspicuous clothing or jewelry and do not
carry excessive amounts of money. Also, do not leave unattended luggage in
public areas and do not accept packages from strangers.
6. Contact us in an emergency: Consular personnel at U.S. Embassies and
Consulates abroad and in the U.S. are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week, to provide emergency assistance to U.S. citizens. Contact information
for U.S. Embassies and Consulates appears on the Bureau of Consular Affairs
website at http://travel.state.gov.
Also note that the Office of Overseas Citizen Services in the State
Department’s Bureau of Consular Affairs may be reached for assistance with
emergencies at 1-888-407-4747, if calling from the U.S. or Canada, or
202-501-4444, if calling from overseas.
