Current events in the world that may affect your coverage

07.30.26
Worldwide

Major current events in the world can disrupt travel with little warning, from disease outbreaks to plane crashes to landslides.

If an event occurs after you purchase your policy and it was not reasonably expected when you bought your plan, your travel insurance may cover eligible losses.

Once an event becomes foreseeable, however, new claims related to that specific event are no longer eligible for coverage.

The alerts below highlight significant current events in the world that may affect your coverage.

Important: We don't list every event reported in recent worldwide news or worldwide news today. Instead, we publish significant ones that can affect coverage. If you don't see your event listed, coverage depends on your policy and the circumstances of your claim.

EventForeseeable date

There are no current miscellaneous alerts. For information about previous events and their foreseeable dates, please see our archived events page.

N/A

This list is not exhaustive and may not include all global events that could affect your coverage. Please review your applicable Description of Coverage (DoC) or state-specific Individual Travel Protection Insurance Policy for complete details about your plan's coverages, benefits, limitations, and exclusions.
