The well-being of UT Austin students, faculty and staff is the primary concern of the Global Risk and Safety unit of Texas Global. In support of the mission and core values of The University of Texas at Austin, we monitor worldwide travel conditions and compile and disseminate safety resources to assist students, faculty and staff on official university travel.

The information on this page is to assist travelers with the basic safety mitigation while traveling abroad. It is not specific to any region or country.
