When citizens traveling, living, and working abroad are affected by a crisis, migrants’ home countries can provide important support and assistance. Consular officials are usually among those who operate on the frontline in crisis situations involving migrants. They therefore play a key role in reducing migrants’ vulnerability during emergencies: They can provide information and advice on potential risks faced by migrants, issue documentation needed to access assistance or move to safety, provide direct assistance or organize evacuations.
The materials presented here aim to support home country institutions to adopt measures that improve the assistance provided to migrants before, during and after crises.
