| If your family needs to contact you because of an emergency at
home or because they are worried about your welfare and can not
reach you directly, they may call the State Department's Office
of Overseas Citizens Services at 1-888-407-4747. This number is
available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through
Friday (except U.S. federal holidays). Callers who are unable to
use toll-free numbers, such as those calling from overseas, may
obtain information and assistance during these hours by calling
1-317-472-2328. The State Department will relay the message to the
Consular Section. We will try to locate you to pass on the message,
and, consistent with the Privacy Act, will report back to your family.
Registering with the Consular Section upon arrival greatly facilitates
our ability to locate you in the event of an emergency.
