The U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince is issuing this Warden Message to alert U.S. citizens to ongoing demonstrations this Monday, August 24, 2009 in the following areas:

 

 

American citizens are encouraged to stay abreast of media coverage of local events and to be aware of their surroundings at all times. Furthermore, we continue to advise all Americans in Haiti to remain alert and to avoid all demonstrations as they can result in violence and require police intervention. In addition, American citizens are also urged to register with the U.S. Embassy. They can do so at https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs/ui/.

 

Americans traveling abroad should regularly monitor the U.S. Embassy’s website the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs’ website www.travel.state.gov, where the current Worldwide Caution, Travel Warnings, Travel Alerts, and Country Specific Information can be found. The U.S. Embassy also encourages U.S. citizens to review to "A Safe Trip Abroad," found at http://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/safety/safety_1747.html, which includes valuable security information for those both living and traveling abroad.
