TRAVEL ADVISORY WEBSITES
A number of governments track most, if not all, countries around the world regarding both security and health issues for travelers. They share this information on their government sites which are very current. This makes them extremely valuable when you are considering a trip to an area that may be politically unsettled, seriously inclined to crime, or subject to outbreaks of various diseases and epidemics.
While the U.S. State Department has a reputation for erring on the side of caution, it tends to deliver the most thorough advisories and reports on about 200 countries. It is also worth getting the perspective of three other respected travel advisory websites listed below. In addition, you will find excellent general information about each country.
U.S. Government: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1765.html
