Workplace Violence Blog: Travel Safety and the New "Smart Traveler" App
Whether you are a savvy international business traveler, or only take the occasional family trip overseas, you know that travel can often lead to problems.
While crimes of theft and robbery are common around the world, natural disasters, bomb threats and terrorism are becoming more frequent. Criminals are opportunists and take advantage of travelers who appear confused, lost or in some cases ‘wealthy.” Being prepared prior to a trip and while on the road is essential.
The US Department of State has created a free App called "Smart Traveler." It is one of the best travel tools I have seen in years…and it’s free! The "Smart Traveler" App has travel warnings and alerts for countries around the world. At your finger tips you can gain access to embassy addresses and phone numbers, entry and exit requirements, and safety and security tips for countries around the globe.
