Essential Travel Guide: US Safety Tips for International Visitors Navigating Border Crossings, Hurricanes, and Political Landscape
-
サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Travelers planning a visit to the United States should be aware that the official guidance from the U.S. Department of State currently places the country at Level 1, which means visitors are advised to exercise normal security precautions. However, the Canadian government adds that, while normal precautions are generally sufficient, incidents of petty crime such as pickpocketing and purse snatching are common, especially in busy urban centers and popular tourist locations. When crossing into the U.S. from Mexico, especially through California, Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas, travelers should remain particularly vigilant, use only officially recognized border crossings, and avoid traveling at night. These areas can experience criminal incidents related to drug trafficking.
Natural disasters represent another significant risk for those traveling to the United States. Hurricanes are a notable concern from May to November in the eastern Pacific, including Hawaii and Guam, and from June to November in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico. Severe storms can disrupt essential services and present serious safety hazards. Travelers heading to these regions during hurricane season should be prepared to alter plans on short notice and pay close attention to local weather updates. Additionally, heavy rainfall can lead to flooding and landslides that may make roads impassable and result in infrastructure damage.
Recent advisories also reflect changes and increased scrutiny at border points. Travelers are reminded to ensure that all necessary documents are in order and to seek guidance on visa applications when required. The current travel climate is influenced by a rapidly evolving U.S. political landscape. The Canadian Association of University Teachers recently advised academic staff to avoid non-essential travel to the United States, citing concerns about border difficulties and potential issues for travelers who belong to certain groups or have traveled to countries currently experiencing diplomatic tensions with the U.S. Those who identify as transgender, have research interests that may be at odds with U.S. policies, or have passport stamps from countries under travel bans are urged to exercise particular caution. Travelers should also consider the information they carry on electronic devices to protect sensitive data at the border.
Finally, while there are no active CDC Health Notices at Level 4 or Level 3 for the U.S., travelers are always encouraged to monitor official channels for updates on health, safety, and entry requirements before their trip. Climate change has also been noted as a factor increasing the frequency of extreme weather events in the U.S., which could disrupt travel plans. Always consult official resources such as the U.S. National Hurricane Center and local authorities for the latest information and guidance during your visit.
