cavanami Posted May 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Main point for US Citizens, get registered with the Embassy so you can be alerted if things go nasty! Link to register is listed in the transcript now available on the Embassy website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 , get registered with the Embassy so you can be alerted if things go nasty! I am sure that this forum and other websites will be faster in issuing alerts than embassy website. (I say that about my own embassy not just US) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted May 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 When I was living / working in Taiwan, I was a "Warden" meaning that I have a group of people that I would contact in critical times. Contacting the people might mean walking to their apartments and knocking on their door, phone them, email, whatever means might be available. Never had to do this, so could be slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaronTT Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Another point they make is that the Red shirts are instigating the violence and that the security forces are responding to it. They are implying that the fault lies with the Reds. Consistent with other messages from the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB[/quote'] Please do tell how email is quicker than surfing the internet. Embassy will only send out alerts based on current information and you can bet your bottom dollar that any information they recieve will have been published online. I, and I assume many others in Bangkok, are following the situation closely from various sources and recieving RSS feeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
