U.S. Secretary of State Travel Advisories

The maps below from the U.S. Secretary of State website show that agency's current travel advisories for Americans traveling abroad. Localized versions are provided where the advisories are hard or impossible to see on other maps.

Red zones are "do not travel" areas. These are places that it simply isn't safe for Americans to be.

Orange zones are "reconsider travel" areas with some having areas of heightened risk. 

Yellow areas of "exercise increased caution" are no real worry (including the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Nepal, and Chile) except in areas of heightened risk where they are effectively "orange zones."
