International SOS Provides Support to Clients in Wake of the Boston Explosions
Philadelphia
International SOS, the world’s leading medical and travel security risk services company, and Control Risks, the world’s leading global risk consultancy firm, are providing ongoing advice and assistance to their clients who have international travelers, expatriates or other personnel based in Boston.
In the immediate wake of the explosions in Boston, International SOS activated a crisis management team in its Philadelphia Assistance Center and began coordinating operations.
International SOS and Control Risks have utilised their proprietary TravelTracker system to send hundreds of travellers from around the world travel security alerts advising of the situation along with critical advice to keep them as healthy and safe as possible during this time of uncertainty. As the situation remains fluid, other subsequent alerts will be sent via email.
Clients and members who would like support are encouraged to call one of International SOS’ 27 assistance centers for real-time advice from a security expert. Up-to-date information and advice are available via the International SOS membership website (https://www.internationalsos.com/) within the Travel Security Online section.
