* CLU checks travel alerts to be aware of all risks as posted by the US State Department http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1103.html

* There are risk management and emergency plans made by CLU and our international host site.

* During free time, participants are taken to areas known by our international site host; participants are instructed to travel in groups

* CLU staff keeps multiple copies of passport and travel information both with the group and back at the University; travel itineraries and emergency contacts are stored with University Administration, and some information is posted here on the website.

* If you have concerns about the safety of this experience, please contact Melissa at revmmmd@callutheran.edu or Karen at kschomak@callutheran.edu.
