00:00As we continue to monitor the complex and quickly changing situation, I want to

00:05take this opportunity to remind you about a few key points on crisis preparedness.

00:11If you haven't already, please enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program, or STEP.

00:18You can enroll in the free program through our travel.state.gov website and U.S. Embassy Beirut's website.

00:26Once enrolled, you'll directly receive alerts and updates from the U.S. Embassy.

00:31We recommend U.S. citizens develop a crisis plan of action and leave before a crisis begins.

00:38Regularly scheduled commercial transportation is always the best option, while local communications

00:44and transportation infrastructure are intact and operating normally.

00:49Please make sure that your U.S. passports are valid for at least six months.

00:53If not, you should make an appointment to renew your U.S. passport through the U.S. Embassy website.

01:00Should commercial air not be available, individuals already in Lebanon should be prepared to shelter

01:06in place for long periods of time.

01:09And finally, if your relatives are planning to visit you in Lebanon this summer, please

01:13strongly encourage them to reconsider their travel, given the difficulties that would

01:18hinder departure should conflict increase in the region.

01:23Preparation is key to crisis preparedness, and I hope you will take a moment to follow

01:28up on these steps so that we can help you keep you and your family safe.
