Emergency Evacuation Tips For Foreign Students

1. Remember to take important documents with you:
   These include: passport, visa, SEVIS-issued I-20 or DS 2019, 1-94, Social Security Card, financial records, and plane tickets, checks and credit cards.
   
   
2. Take any contact numbers or email addresses to keep in touch with your Principal/Designated School Officials (P/DSOs): Check the OIP web site or P/DSO office to find out how they would like you to contact them if you are displaced.
   
   
3. Take the SEVP contact information: If you cannot get in touch with your P/DSO, contact SEVP to let them know where you are and how they can reach you. Email to SEVP at SEVIS.source@dhs.gov, or call free from any phone: (800) 961-5294.
   
   
4. If you decide to transfer to a different school: Check the SEVP web site at www.ice.gov/sevis or call (800) 961-5294 to determine if your new school is on the list of certified schools.
