Your CISabroad onsite program coordinator will be with your group for the duration of your program abroad. Should you need any assistance, please let your CISabroad onsite staff know. This includes emergency situations, and non-emergency situations.
The 24/7 Emergency Phone number for all CISabroad faculty-led programs is +1 970 568 6496. If for some reason your CISabroad onsite staff member is unavailable in the event of an emergency (this would be odd, but anything is possible) please call this number. Please introduce yourself by stating your name, the program on which you are traveling and the country in which you are traveling. If your call is not answered during the first attempt, please phone again. This number is staffed by a member of the CISabroad customized faculty-led team (we do not outsource these calls) and depending on the time of day or night a second attempt may be necessary. You also have the option to leave a message and your call will be returned promptly.
In the event of an emergency, your CISabroad staff member will step-in with your program group leaders. Nevertheless, you should still know how to proceed in the event of an emergency while you are in Ireland. Much of this information will be covered in your onsite orientation.
The (closest) 911 equivalent in Thailand is: 1669
Emergency response services are not always as efficient as they are in the U.S. In the case of an emergency, it is best to inform your onsite staff immediately and let them handle the emergency calls. David will discuss the best procedures in the case of an emergency in each city during your onsite orientation!
