The information in this section will help you plan and implement actions in the event of a crisis.

The best way to cope with crises is to plan and prepare for them. Here are a few things you can do to limit the chances of them happening and to limit the impact when they do:
Contact the nearest police station and get a police report.
Visit the nearest British Consulate or Embassy (see www.embassyworld.org or www.fco.gov.uk).
You'll need two recent passport photos, the police report, some proof of identity and money for the fee.
Contact the airline concerned (or tour operator if you're part of a group booking) as soon as possible. You may need a police report.
You may have to pay for a ticket and claim the money later.
If any insurance claim is to be made, notify the insurance company as soon as possible and keep all documentation and receipts.
Notify the police as soon as possible.
