Warden Message: Severe Winter Weather

U.S. citizens are advised that severe winter weather has affected Eastern, Central, and some areas of Southwest China.  Snow and ice storms have caused widespread road and rail closures and many flights have been cancelled or delayed.  Travelers are experiencing long delays and transportation of food and other supplies has been temporarily stopped.  U.S. citizens are encouraged to monitor news and weather reports before traveling to or in China.  Even areas of China outside of those receiving heavy snow are affected because of transportation disruptions during this busiest travel season of the year leading up to the celebration of the Lunar New Year next week.

U.S. citizens residing or traveling in China are reminded to register with the U.S. Embassy or closest U.S. Consulate by entering your travel itinerary and contact information at https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs/home.asp.
