U.S. citizens in Afghanistan should regularly monitor the Embassy's
Security Announcements Internet web page, as well as the Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs  website, where the Worldwide Caution, Country Specific Information and the Travel Warning for Afghanistan are found.

In addition, the Embassy encourages U.S. citizens to review "A Safe Trip Abroad"  which includes valuable security information for those traveling or living in foreign countries. You can also follow the Bureau of Consular Affairs on Twitter and on Facebook. Up-to-date information on security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the United States and Canada, or, for callers outside of the United States and Canada, on a regular toll-line at 1-202-501-444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays).
