May 25, 2004: Natural Disasters
Natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, forest fires, hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes, and drought occur and may affect safety, services, and transportation. Canadians should monitor local developments and news broadcasts carefully, follow the advice of local authorities, and know how to contact the nearest Canadian government office (i.e. embassy, high commission, or consulate) in their destination country. As well, travelers should carry details on how to contact the Department's Operations Centre, which operates 24 hours a day and accepts collect calls from Canadians overseas. Travel arrangements should be confirmed prior to departure. Click here for details.

Potential Health Hazards
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has implemented a new system to provide travelers with complete information regarding potential health hazards, along with advice on how travelers can protect themselves. The new system, designed to make CDC announcements more easily understood by travelers, is available at the agency's website.

This information on this website is public information and is not individualized travel advice. While we strive for accuracy, it is possible that information on this site may contain errors or omissions for which we disclaim any liability.
