Emergency Assistance While Abroad
Emergencies While Abroad
If you are in an emergency situation abroad, you will need to know how to contact the police, an ambulance, or even the fire department. Not every country uses “911” as its emergency contact number, as we do in the United States. In this Travel section you will find areas with instructions on how to call from overseas, preparing for an emergency abroad, the importance of always monitoring your official USF email address, how to seek assistance while abroad, and what constitutes reporting an emergency while overseas.
