\nAll of the pertinent information travelers need about their international travel destination before they go in an easy to follow, brief-style format.

\nA self-guided version of the TravelAdvisor feature. BU travelers can access country and city guides for potential destinations that include security, medical and general travel advice. Information such as current entrance and exit requirements, required and recommended vaccinations, current crime and civil unrest risks, transportation safety, food safety, and much more are all available in the guides.<\/p>\nEmail Alert Sign up<\/strong><\/span>
\nBU travelers should sign up for email alerts for their specific destination(s). These alerts can help keep travelers informed on changing potential risks at their destination(s). Travelers can customize their alerts by location, frequency, and type and change them for each trip they take.<\/p>\nAssistance App Access<\/strong><\/span>
\nThere are instructions on how to download, set up, and use the International SOS assistance app for iPhones and Android phones. The app provides most of the same functionality as the Member\u2019s portal but also allows users to get real-time alerts to their specific location using their phone\u2019s GPS. For example, email alerts might warn you that there is an increased chance of typhoon related flooding in the city you are in. Alerts from the app would tell you in real time that there is flooding on the street you are currently driving down.<\/p>\nContact an Assistance Center<\/strong><\/span>
\nLocal medical and security experts are available 24\/7 to offer advice and assistance to BU travelers. They can help with choosing a safe hotel, choosing safe transportation to and from the airport, asking questions about transporting and access to prescription medications, medical and mental health services in the vicinity of your destination, and advice or assistance on many other topics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
