What happens if there is an emergency onsite while I am abroad?

If you have an on-site emergency, the CIS Abroad team will be there for you.

 CIS Abroad’s Emergency Communication Plan has been developed to protect the safety and well-being of all program participants, protect CIS Abroad and its partners, and to inform all relevant stakeholders – including home universities and families of participants.  We work in collaboration with local hospitals, law enforcement, government agencies, and even sometimes US Embassies or Consulates to resolve emergencies on-site.
