If you're in the area
Active conflict area. Check your government's travel advisory before any travel to Syria,
and follow your embassy's instructions if you are already there.
Never walk or drive through floodwater — 30 cm of moving water can carry a car.
Follow evacuation orders and move to higher ground early, not when water is already rising.
Keep your phone charged and follow the national weather service for updates.
Emergency numbers
Call the local emergency number and follow instructions from local authorities. Your embassy can confirm the right number.
Travelling or living abroad
The US Embassy in Damascus has suspended operations; consular help is very limited.
