Monitor local media and official channels for updates and follow instructions from local authorities (see U.S. Travel Advisory and local reporting).
Avoid crowded tourist sites and be alert in transportation hubs and public spaces; keep a low profile and stay aware of exits.
Prepare for cold weather and light snow (wear warm layers, waterproof footwear with traction); allow extra time for travel and transfers.
Plan for possible power outages or infrastructure disruption: carry a small flashlight, extra phone power bank, and paper copies of critical documents.
If you notice suspicious activity or weapons, move to a safe location and contact local police; avoid confrontations.
