The Department is utilizing this form to acquire the most current and accurate data possible to inform our consular assistance efforts. It will allow us to build a more current picture of how many U.S. citizens plan to remain in the country experiencing a crisis and any who may need reimbursable loan assistance to depart or any other consular assistance. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Methodology The collection will be completed 100 percent electronically. The respondent will access the form at the following link: https://cacms.state.gov/s/crisisintake. The link will also be accessible from the crisis country’s country information page on www.travel.state.gov, the U.S. embassy or consulate website for that country, and other Department of State communications. The Department may also choose as appropriate to distribute the form’s URL through emails from @state.gov email addresses, or in messaging sent as consular information products. The link will only be activated when there is a need to collect the information. Kevin E. Bryant, Deputy Director, Office of Directives Management, Department of State.
