What to Know When Civil Unrest Strikes When You Travel

AirMed Provides Members with Security Assistance Around the Clock

You can rarely turn on the news and not see video or a news story about civil unrest happening somewhere in the world. Riots, demonstrations, and terrorist activities can occur anywhere in the world, especially in largely populated cities.

AirMed can and does provide assistance to our members if a crisis erupts. AirMed has close connections and agreements with multiple international security firms who specialize in up-to-the-minute security information and getting people out of harm’s way.

Should you, as an AirMed member, become trapped in a dangerous situation where civil unrest is occurring near you or in the city you have traveled, AirMed will get you the necessary information you need and even make arrangements to evacuate you to a designated safe haven or city or location away from the danger.

If you happen to become caught in an unsafe situation, our members can contact us, and we will act as liaison between the member and the security firm, ensuring that you receive the information and assistance you need. Our contacts are experienced in getting people critical information, most even have “boots on the ground” ready to assist in a timely manner.

Travel Warnings are issued when long-term, protracted conditions that make a country dangerous or unstable lead the U.S. State Department to recommend that Americans avoid or consider the risk of travel to that country. A Travel Warning is also issued when the U.S. Government’s ability to assist American citizens is constrained due to the closure of an embassy or consulate or because of a drawdown of its staff.

All of the steps and information AirMed provides to assist you during an unstable situation are there to add to your peace of mind while traveling.
