The level of instability and ongoing threats in Yemen remain extremely concerning. There are no plans for a U.S. government-coordinated evacuation of U.S. citizens at this time. To avoid placing themselves in greater danger, U.S. citizens are encouraged to shelter in place until the situation stabilizes. If you feel that your current location is no longer safe, you should carefully assess the potential risks involved in moving to a different location.
If you believe that you cannot remain in your current location because the situation has become too dangerous but could safely travel to another location such as Mokha, please inform Department of State by sending an email to YemenEmergencyUSC@state.gov You can also contact us at 1-888-407-4747 (From the U.S. & Canada), +1-202-501-4444 (From Overseas).
