Follow these simple self protection measures below in the event of a demonstration.

- If you happen to come upon a demonstration, remain calm and disengage from the situation. Avoid speaking loudly.
- Try to be inconspicuous. Do not draw attention to yourself.
- Travel in small groups (never alone) and vary movements.
- Always let someone know where you're going and when you expect to return.
- Stay away from high risk areas.
- Know emergency numbers and potential safe areas.
- Carry a cell phone if possible.
- Keep vehicle in good working order and fuel tank full.
- All U.S. personnel are advised to avoid areas during the times of the scheduled demonstration.
