SECURITY SITUATION – The Marshall Islands enjoy a relatively high level of safety. With low crime rates and a stable political environment, the country is generally safe for living and traveling. Nevertheless, personal safety and safeguarding valuables should be observed. The Marshall Islands were a testing site for U.S. nuclear explosions during the 1940s and 1950s. Although many parts of the islands have been rehabilitated, long-term contamination effects may still pose some risks.
Monsoons and cyclones are most common from June to November. It is advised to monitor local weather forecasts and follow hotel staff guidance.
In case of emergency, dial 911.
TRANSPORTATION – The only public transportation available in the Marshall Islands consists of taxi services, which may be shared with other passengers. Road infrastructure is underdeveloped (there is only one paved road on the main island), and pedestrians should exercise caution due to the lack of sidewalks.
