What you can ask

Get a travel advisory. Gives the current State Department advisory for one destination: level and headline, the date it was last updated, a short excerpt and the link to the official page. Try: "What is the travel advisory for Japan?"

Watch a destination. Starts a watch. You get an e-mail, at the address you signed in with, when the level changes or the advisory is reissued with a new date. Try: "Tell me if the advisory for Mexico or Egypt changes." You can have 10 active watches.

List watched destinations. Shows your watches with the current level and the last alert time. Try: "Which destinations am I watching?"

Stop watching a destination. Stops one watch by its id. Try: "Stop watching Egypt."

What the levels are

These are the names the Department of State uses. The advisories are written for U.S. citizens.

How often

The server reads the Department's public advisory list once every 6 hours, for everybody together. A change can reach you up to about 6 hours after the Department publishes it.

Who we are

Travel Advisory Watch is run by Echelon and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Government. Read the official advisory before you travel.

The Department's own Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) sends embassy alerts by e-mail to enrolled travellers. This service is separate from it and does not replace it.

Questions: support.
