Travel Threats
(www.travelthreats.com) announced today an initiative to provide direct
support for relief efforts in Myanmar. For the next 45 days, 25 percent of
revenue from the purchase of Travel Threats Country Reports will be donated to
the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) relief operations
supporting the millions of individuals in need within weather ravaged Myanmar.
Tara Boyd, Executive Vice President of Travel Threats stated, "The
situation in Myanmar is extremely dire; Travel Threats is honored to provide
our full support for the operations of the ICRC. While our normal
responsibilities include providing comprehensive threat information warning
individuals of possible consequences of travel, when a catastrophic event such
as the cyclone which struck Myanmar occurs, we are called to help in any way
we can. In addition to the monetary donations to the ICRC, relief
organizations will be provided a free comprehensive Myanmar Travel Threats
Country Report for the duration of relief effort operations."
Boyd further stated, "Individuals desiring a free Myanmar country report,
or additional details of our ICRC support initiative, should e-mail the Travel
Threats support team at MyanmarRelief@travelthreats.com."
