Being away from home in a crisis

Dealing with a crisis can be more difficult when you are far away from home or when your culture is different from the one you are now living in.

It is important that you:

• Understand common reactions to a crisis
• Think about how you might cope in a crisis
• Contact someone if you need help

In case something happens to you, it is worth having a list of emergency contacts ready for someone to use on your behalf. Make sure you tell close friends or family about where to find your emergency contact list.
