- "Travel Warnings are issued when the State Department
decides, based on all relevant information, to recommend
that Americans avoid travel to a certain country. Countries
where avoidance of travel is recommended will have Travel
Warnings as well as Consular Information Sheets. Public
Announcements are a means to disseminate information about
terrorist threats and other relatively short-term and/or
trans-national conditions posing significant risks to the
security of American travelers. They are made any time there
is a perceived threat and usually have Americans as a
particular target group. In the past, Public Announcements
have been issued to deal with short-term coups, bomb threats
to airlines, violence by terrorists and anniversary dates of
specific terrorist events. Consular Information Sheets are
available for every country of the world. They include such
information as location of the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in
the subject country, unusual immigration practices, health
conditions, minor political disturbances, unusual currency
and entry regulations, crime and security information, and
drug penalties."
