Travel Warnings contain advisories about recent dangerous circumstances affecting travelers to particular countries, such as political and social unrest. Consular information sheets list the location of the US embassy or consulate. They also include unusual immigration practices, health conditions, minor political disturbances, unusual currency and entry regulations, crime and security information, and drug penalties.
