Key Updates & Resources
If you or someone you know is currently in the region, here is the essential checklist being circulated:
Enroll in STEP: The Smart Traveler Enrollment Program is the fastest way to get embassy alerts.
Commercial First: Officials are urging citizens to use available commercial flights immediately rather than waiting for government-assisted departures.
Shelter in Place: For those in high-tension areas like Jerusalem or Dhahran, following local "shelter in place" orders is critical until safe transit is confirmed.
Keep Liquid Assets: Ensure you have access to funds that aren't tied up in long-term locked staking or illiquid assets in case of emergency expenses.
