German citizens are recommended to register in the Foreign Office's “ELEFAND” crisis prevention list, regardless of the country they are visiting and the length of their stay abroad.

Whether you are “only” traveling or staying abroad for a long time, with the entry in the ELEFAND crisis prevention list you create the prerequisite for being informed quickly by our diplomatic missions in the event of a crisis or disaster and, if necessary, to be included in crisis management measures.
