The U.S. State Department provides a number of free information services for travelers and citizens living abroad.
+ At the Travel Registration page, you can notify the local embassy of your intended whereabouts. This makes it easier to find you in event of an emergency back home or evacuations due to civil or political unrest or natural disasters. Registering your passport details speeds replacement due to loss or theft abroad. Finally, the local embassy will send you email updates with news and information specific to the country or region you will be visiting. This is a smart thing to get into the habit of doing before each trip.
