As you prepare to travel to other countries for study, work, or research, it is important that you consider your health and safety while abroad. This Website is designed to assist you and your family in preparing you before, during and after your time outside the United States. The links to the left provide detailed information on everything from preparing to go abroad to contacting those at Yale who can assist you along the way.

As an added tool for your preparation, 24 hour health and safety updates from around the world are available at the Overseas Security Advisory Council. The Study Abroad Safety Handbook is also an excellent resource referenced many times on this site. And for some informative fun, be sure to test your inter-cultural skills at "What's Up With Culture?"
