03/26/2024 (Papua New Guinea) - Exercise caution at shopping centers, transport hubs, and other crowded public spaces. Plan for transport and business disruptions near transport centers and other public facilities due to increased security measures. Allow additional time if traveling to the transport hubs due to possible traffic congestion. Do not carry large sums of money and avoid ostentatious displays of wealth; use ATMs inside banks, hotels, or other businesses, rather than on the street. Closely guard bags and other valuables at malls, airports, ports, and other crowded transport centers. Relinquish valuables if confronted by an armed assailant, as criminals are known to operate in groups and may resort to violence when resisted. Ensure adequate security for employees transporting money to and from banks; vary departure times and conduct all transactions discreetly. Heed all official advisories and remain cooperative if stopped by authorities for security and health checks.
