The U.S. Embassy recommends that all U.S. citizens traveling or living outside of the United States take steps to prepare yourself for a potential emergency. To help you in your preparation, we want to direct you to LT72.lt, a newly published Lithuanian government website designed to aid Lithuanian residents in preparing for emergencies. The site offers practical advice in English, Lithuanian, and Russian languages on how you can prepare for, and respond to different types of emergencies that could occur in Lithuania. We also recommend you review resources available at Ready.gov, a U.S. government site that helps you learn about emergency situations and prepare your response.
Two actions you can take today to improve your personal emergency response is to make a written family plan (LT72 link and Ready.gov link) and prepare an emergency supply kit (LT72 link and Ready.gov link). These are simple actions that everyone can take to improve your emergency preparedness and response.
