If you've traveled this Summer, you know that several airlines now have a process for travelers to provide contact information and travel itinerary data in case of emergency.

In light of recent events involving an airline traveler with a potentially infectious disease, the U.S. Centers For Disease Control now strongly encourages travelers to provide this information to ensure they can be reached in case of an emergency.

Along with airline-specific emergency contact forms or procedures, U.S. Citizens who are traveling to or visiting another country can now utilize the U.S. State Department's free travel registration service. To learn more:
