| I mean what is the State Dept doing for anyone in the Middle East right now? |

| Yes, I generally do. Not sure if they will help with a crisis but they have been good about warning about massive crowds for big events, dangerous weather, areas that are dangerous to travel, etc |

| No. I used to, but found it wasn't worth even the small amount of time it took. And now it looks like it's even more useless. |

| Yes and it’s pretty useless. They’re late on getting info to you and they are absolutely no help. I’ve been in a few situations where I needed help and I had to do it completely on my own. This has happened with 3 different administrations by both parities and it’s the same story every time |

| Yes but not very confident it is useful. In Indonesia one time there was an erupting volcano and I asked the contact about evacuation and he said he didn't know but was going to Jakarta asap. |

They are organizing planes for those in areas where they can get them out. But there’s now an MS form on the State website you need to complete. |
