How can I prepare myself before I leave in case a travel advisory is issued? 

Before you travel, review the official Government of Canada travel advice and advisories for your destination and check for any updates leading up to your departure. If you have questions about how a travel advisory could affect your travel coverage, you can contact Travel Assistance for guidance.

We also strongly recommend registering with the Registration of Canadians Abroad. This free service allows the Government of Canada to contact you in case of an emergency at your destination or at home, and to share important updates during events such as natural disasters or civil unrest.
