R.O.N PERSONAL SAFETY MEASURES
To help prevent you becoming involved in an unusual situation or people emergency, here are some personal travel safety measures.
• Don’t publicize travel plans. Hotel employees, taxi drivers, wait-persons, etc. are prime sources of information to terrorists.
•
When traveling to developing nations carry a trauma kit containing IV needles and syringes. Include a letter of explanation from your medical department.
• Consider a tele-medical/tele-assistance service subscription like Aircare Access Assistance.
• Do not allow any service provider, such as a limo service, validate your credit card via a cellular phone or radio.
• If you go sight seeing, keep your crew apprised of where you are going and when you can be expected to return.
• Do not speak out loud your hotel room number when checking in.
•
When riding an elevator, if things don’t seem right, get off as soon as possible.
• Hotel rooms, and elevators are bugged in many countries! Be careful of your conversation.
• Don’t exhibit large amounts of money. • Don’t use baggage tags with your home address.
• Secure the dead bolt on the door of your hotel room. • Use a doorstop to prevent intrusion. • Don’t open your hotel door before identifying visitors.
• Only use authorized taxis and never one with two drivers.
• Avoid tourist traps, public markets, and street fairs. • Don’t go near any civilian “disturbance.” • Know how to contact the local police. • Know how to contact your embassy. •
The hotel concierge can be extremely helpful.
• Make it a point to introduce yourself and build a relationship with the hotel management.
• Carry all prescriptions in original bottles. Do not use pill boxes.
• Be careful tipping. Tip those you wish, but don’t give a tip to a “supervisor” to be divided. Tip each person separately.
• It’s a good idea to escort female crewmembers to their room.
• Refrain from speaking English in some public places. If English is your language, be careful and remain quiet as much as possible until in a more private location.
