Savvy seniors who roam the world are signed on to this free U.S. State Department program. It’s for Americans who want to keep up with the most current conditions in areas where they plan to travel.

Unfortunately, terror attacks too often interrupt travel plans. They create confusion, cancellations and delays where they happen and throughout the world. Traveling seniors should constantly utilize STEP information to be as safe as possible during their journeys.

STEP makes available all phone numbers, locations and services of U.S. Embassies and Consulates. Wherever they wander, STEP enrollees are in daily communication with the nearest U.S. facility. For more info, go to step.state.go
