Travelers with valid travel documents and any necessary medications were asked to “bring one suitcase and a small personal carry-on item,” according to the State Department statement. which cautioned evacuees to be prepared “to wait several hours,” and advised them “to bring food, water, diapers and other necessary toiletries with them to the pier.”
U.S. citizens were also expected to “sign paperwork promising to reimburse the U.S. government for transportation costs at a later date,” although exact transportation costs were not yet available.
Moreover, U.S. citizens without valid travel documents were requested to send an email to [email protected] or by call 1-202-501-4444.
