“Natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, or volcanic eruptions may result in disruptions to transportation, infrastructure, sanitation, and the availability of health services,” it continued.
“Demonstrations occur frequently and have the potential to become violent. Avoid demonstrations and crowds,” it concluded.
