Natural Disaster and Emergency Evacuation
Your safety is our priority. In the event of a natural disaster such as a hurricane, flood or other extreme weather or emergency situation, it is mandatory that you comply with emergency procedures and follow instructions issued by InterExchange and your local Office of Emergency Management.
For the most current information on evacuation notices and to learn what your local area is doing to prepare for an extreme weather event or emergency, visit the website of your local Office of Emergency Management. They can also provide information about maintaining an emergency kit for such situations. Talk to your host employer to get information and guidance on how to prepare for an emergency as well.
After major emergencies in the U.S., InterExchange will reach out to confirm that you are safe and to verify whether you have evacuated. Please respond promptly so that we know you are safe. And as always, please reach out to us if you need help during an emergency.
Important Information If You Are Evacuated
It is required that you follow local evacuation instructions in emergency situations. Should you be evacuated, make sure to take important documents with you. This includes your passport, DS-2019 Form, Social Security Card, financial records, plane ticket, checks, credit cards, etc.
Take important contact numbers and email addresses, and make note of the InterExchange emergency: 917.373.0994.
Contact your family members to let them know you are safe and how you can be reached, and let InterExchange know immediately where you have relocated.
