BCBS Global Solutions/Crisis24 Alerts
Stay up-to-date while traveling. Add Alerts (ranging from changes to entry/exit requirements to crime to natural hazards) from GW's security/intelligence provider, Crisis24, to your BCBS Global Solutions app. These alerts are a good addition to the U.S. Department of State's Smart Traveller Enrollment Program, as they cover a wider range of events and are generally issued well in advance of DoS alerts.
Let's get started
Note you will need to have registered/enrolled in BCBS Global Solutions in order to use the app (see the Health Insurance Information page for enrollment/registration instructions).
Begin by clicking on the location symbol on the app's home page.
You can add location-based alerts or select your host country/city from the dropdown list.
Scroll to find "News & Safety".
Click "Read News Alerts".
If you are reading the alerts for your host country (not host city specific) for the first time, be sure to scroll through older alerts. Some alerts (often Health-related as in the screenshot below) may still be active for your destination.
