Maximum Alerts / United States
Updated on 9 September 2026 · source checked daily
United States — as of 9 September 2026, the U.S. Department of State publishes no travel advisory for this country, so there is no official level to cite here. No advisory is not a green light: it means no level has been published, not that the risk is nil. Maximum Insurance covers this country.
One source could not be read: the cell says so — that is not an answer.
Every country has its own scale, so we ask them all the same question: is the whole country advised against?
An advisory covering only areas of the country does not raise the answer: it stays “No”, and the area is shown in the relevant column.
The level shown on this page — and across this site — is the one published by the U.S. State Department, from 1 (normal precautions) to 4 (do not travel). France and the United Kingdom publish their own advisories, with their own rules: they add to that level, they do not replace it.

We keep only incidents UCDP codes as "Clear" and whose location is precise enough to be placed — about 58% of the dataset. An incident may be revised, moved or withdrawn by UCDP in a later release: these figures describe a closed period, not a live situation.
What we do locate on the map are events in progress — earthquakes and disasters reported by USGS and GDACS (UN / European Commission), which do have real coordinates. Hover a dot for details, click to open it in this briefing.

You opened this page from New York. The network below is that city's, not Washington D.C. (the capital). The advisory level remains national. Hospitals with emergency rooms, nearest evacuation airport and live alerts — public data (OpenStreetMap, GDACS), computed live. In an emergency, one reflex: +41 22 ••• •• ••.
The U.S. Department of State publishes no travel advisory for this country, so there is no official level to cite. No advisory does not mean the risk is nil.
The Pack VIP ($990 for twelve months, unlimited trips) covers CHF 1.5M emergency medical expenses, unlimited evacuation and repatriation, the direct payment guarantee in hospital, and a nominative certificate in the format visa applications require, Schengen included. The Pack VIP Extreme adds crisis management & security and Kidnap & Ransom (subject to eligibility).
Observed costs range from 55 000 € to 260 000 € depending on severity and distance (Staysure (sinistres 2023-24), 2025). The Pack VIP covers evacuation and medical repatriation without cap, settled directly by the insurer.
Many consulates require proof of international medical cover before issuing a visa — Schengen included for non-European travellers. Maximum Insurance issues the official named certificate on payment, accepted for these procedures.
One reflex: call +41 22 ••• •• •• (24/7). Within our worldwide medical network — 45,000 medical providers — the insurer sends its direct payment guarantee: the hospital is settled directly, no deposit advanced by the traveller.
These are travel-insurance options, with a public notice. At level 4/4 (Do Not Travel), several notices rule the trip out (Amex, exclusion no. 11; Mastercard Fortuneo, art. 5.5). Below that, the area exclusion generally does not apply — 90 days max, reimbursement afterwards, no visa certificate remain. The VIP Pack runs 12 months, pays the hospital, and issues the certificate on payment.
A health plan treats you at home: the hospital here asks for a guarantee before admission. A travel policy has its own terms — often a territorial clause at level 4/4, and 90 days. Without the document (IPID number or PDF), we cannot say. Ask a Maximum Insurance expert to call you back.
The published advisory level is national, but risk is not: business hubs (New York, Los Angeles, Miami) do not share the profile of border areas. The medical network shown here is computed around New York — the city you searched for — not around Washington D.C., the capital. Before a specific trip, always cross-check your country of residence's advisory: that is what your policy cites.
The displayed level comes from the State Department, checked every morning. Before departure, always cross-check your country of residence's advisory: that is what your policy cites.
The level shown is the official U.S. Department of State level, checked daily. Maximum Insurance is an insurance distributor — general information, not personal advice.
