When you are travelling by car, keep valuables out of sight, windows secure and doors locked. Carry a mobile telephone, if you have one. Review the security of your residence, including perimeter fences and locks on doors. Take sensible security precautions, e.g don't go and watch rallies or demonstrations, avoid displays of jewellery or money. Take extra care at banks and money machines.
Civil unrest can break out with little warning.
Keep abreast of events by following the TV and Radio news as well as newspapers. Make common sense contingency plans. Keep a reasonable supply of food and drinking water at home and keep the petrol tank of your car topped up. At certain times it may be best to stay indoors for a couple of days. Obtain a short-wave radio and follow the BBC World Service news.
