PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO AS MANY AMERICAN CITIZENS AS POSSIBLE Warden Message #08 FY2009

Update on Flu Outbreak in Mexico – Mexico City Closes Most Public Establishments; State Department updates Travel Alert for Mexico

U.S. citizens traveling or residing in Mexico City should be aware that on Tuesday, April 28, 2009, the Mayor of Mexico City ordered the closure of all establishments where large numbers of the public gather until May 6, including restaurants, bars, discos, night clubs, cinemas, movie theaters, theaters, gyms, and convention centers.

The State Department believes it is important for all citizens to maintain readiness for all possibilities in case of an emergency. Because of potential disruptions in shopping patterns, the U.S. Embassy is advising its employees to consider stockpiling two-weeks of emergency supplies such as food, water, infant formula and medicines, as well as to verify the availability of cash or credit cards. U.S. citizens traveling or resident in Mexico should consider doing the same.

On April 28, 2009, the U.S. Department of State revised the April 27 Travel Alert for Mexico. The revised Travel Alert can be found at http://travel.state.gov.

All U.S. citizens in Mexico are advised to monitor the Embassy website at: http://mexico.usembassy.gov or sites for the nearest Consulate for additional warden notices and other information. Other important websites providing the latest information are the State Department’s website at http://www.travel.state.gov, the CDC website at http://www.cdc.gov, or the website of the World Health Organization at http://www.who.int. The U.S.-based call center for U.S. citizens can be reached from 8:00 am – 8:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time, M-F, at 1-888-407-4747, or if calling from outside the U.S., at (202)-501-4444.
