U.S. Citizens living or traveling outside of the U.S. are urged to register their travel plans with the U.S. State Dept. This will allow the U.S. Embassy to notify U.S. citizens in the event of a disaster, emergency or other crisis; and to facilitate evacuation coordination.

U.S. Citizens living in Canada or planning a visit to Canada are encouraged to register online at the U.S. State Dept. web site.

The Department of State will not disclose the information you provide in your registration application to any third parties unless you have first given written authorization to do so, or unless the disclosure is otherwise permitted by the Privacy Act.
