Assistance for Individuals & Families in the Middle East
Maintaining the safety and security of all Americans impacted by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East will always be of the utmost importance for me and my office. My staff and I are in constant communication with the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, and relevant foreign officials to monitor developments on the ground and potential impacts to constituents. Please monitor this page for any relevant updates.
Amid these difficult circumstances, it is important that all Americans across the Middle East receive timely, accurate and up-to-date information about the how to remain safe and are in contact with the relevant government officials. Please see below for guidance and resources from the State Department for Americans in the region. We will continue to update this page as more information becomes available. I encourage you to share these with any family and friends that are traveling in the region or who have questions about the current situation.
- The State Department has issued security alerts to U.S. citizens in Israel, Jordan, and Iran. Additionally, the Department is also advising all U.S. citizens worldwide to exercise increased caution and check all relevant security alerts when traveling aboard.
- The Crisis Intake Form is now open for U.S. citizens in Israel and Iran to fill out should they need assistance.
- If you are traveling in the region, you should enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive updates from the U.S. Embassy.
