A warden system provides

a reliable way for the Embassy or Consulate to reach U.S. citizens/non- citizen nationals in the event of an emergency, disaster or threat and to distribute other information of interest to the private U.S. community. Who are Wardens? Wardens are usually, but not always U.S. citizens/noncitizen nationals resident in the host country who volunteer their assistance to the U.S. citizen community. What do Wardens do? Wardens assist consular sections in disaster preparedness by alerting U.S. citizens to emergency situations and passing on information from the post or Department. Due to privacy concerns, they sign a Memorandum of Agreement committing them to safeguard the names and other identifiers of the U.S. citizens whom they are to notify in cases of emergency. The Embassy will also look to the wardens for information on how events may affect Americans in their organizations and neighbor- hoods. Interested in Volunteering to be a Warden?
