Travel
●
Stay at reputable hotels and motels. Don't put your life in jeopardy to save
a few dollars.
●
At the hotel, locate the nearest fire escape before you need it. Check the
windows and doors to make sure they are secure.
●
Ask for a second story room at a hotel. Ground-floor rooms are more sus-
ceptible to break-in.
●
Don't open the door to anybody unless you are familiar with him or her.
Talk through the door without opening it (those chain guards on the door
are not very effective).
●
Avoid rest stops except when they are crowded.
●
In metropolitan areas look for a hotel in a busy area.
●
Avoid mass transportation at night. Don't try to save a few dollars and take
the subway at night in unfamiliar territory. Spend the extra money and take
a taxi.
●
Separate your cash into two portions. Keep some of the money in your
wallet and the rest in a belt pouch or separate pocket. If you have a purse,
carry it in front of you, over your shoulder and across your chest. Hold onto
it with your hands.
●
Make a copy of your passport in case the original is lost or stolen. Keep
the copy in a safe place.
●
When renting a car, make sure that your car has emergency roadside
equipment.
●
When flying, try to get a nonstop flight.
In Case of Emergency
●
Know police station locations and phone numbers.
●
Know hospital locations and phone numbers.
