Security Alert: Possible Holiday Disruptions – U.S. Embassy Port-au-Prince, Haiti

Location: Haiti, countrywide

Event: The U.S. Embassy in Haiti advises U.S. citizens of possible disruptions to New Year’s Eve celebrations by gangs. A general increase in crime and gang-related violence typically occurs during the holiday season, including robberies, assaults, and kidnappings. Criminals may target people who appear distracted or are carrying valuables.

The Travel Advisory for Haiti  is Level 4: Do Not Travel due to kidnapping, crime, terrorism, civil unrest, and limited health care.

Actions to Take:

  • Review your personal security plans and monitor local media for security updates.
  • Be aware of your surroundings and maintain a low profile.
  • Keep a reasonable supply of food, water, and fuel without hoarding.
