Electronic Travel Advisory (eTA)
The Electronic Travel Advisory (eTA) is a mobile application created by OICT and launched by the Department of Safety and Security to provide relevant security information based on your current location including, the local security advisory, local emergency contact information, nearby UN premises locations and other useful information at your fingertips. It is available to anyone who has a TRIP profile. With eTA, you can also receive security notifications from local security personnel to alert and advise you on such things as civil unrest, movement restrictions, weather events and traffic blockages. During an emergency situation, eTA can help security professionals locate you and provide assistance if you’re in need. All you need to do is download and activate the App! The eTA is currently only an App-based system, but work is being done to allow UN personnel to receive information security information via SMS, as well.
