How does Trekkerz work?
Trekkerz brings the power of Crisis24 to you, the individual, to empower you to make smart travel safety decisions anywhere in the world.
Who is Crisis24?
Crisis24 is a global leader in travel safety. Their team of more than 120 subject matter experts monitors the globe 24/7 to ensure safety, security, health, and other travel-related issues are communicated to you promptly and accurately.
What is the cost?
Memberships start at $149 for three months of access, or you can access the content year- round for $479 a year.
What types of information will I receive?
The travel safety alerts provide comprehensive analysis and real-time intelligence of significant issues across various security and travel-related categories. If you’re traveling in Thailand and there are protests in Bangkok, you’ll be alerted of where those protests are to avoid the area. If you happen to find yourself near the demonstrations, the alert will advise how to move through them safely.
The location intelligence will give you a complete understanding of security, health, and other factors to consider before you leave home. Knowing the local conditions before you travel will help you prepare in advance, reducing the risk of unplanned incidents that you can easily avoid.
For example, the risk of overpaying for a taxi ride from the airport is high in some countries. In these cases, you may want to arrange for transportation in advance. Knowing that information will help you plan and avoid uncertainty when you arrive at your destination.
How do I access the information?
After registration, you will receive an invitation to create an account via our online platform. You will also have access to download our mobile app from iOS or Google Play stores.

What are alerts?
Crisis24 has a 24/7 watch team of analysts who monitor hundreds of sources for real-time identification of events and issues that could affect travelers. The watch team creates alerts covering health, transportation, security, environment, communications, and other key details
about a destination.
Will I receive alerts when I don’t have a trip planned?
You can choose to create your own location alerts via the mobile app or online portal. You can create watch lists for multiple locations to help you prepare for your travel.
How does the hotline work?
When you create an account with Trekkerz, you will receive access to the security and advice hotline via the mobile app. Trained security professionals can make recommendations if you find yourself in any situation, you’re unsure how to handle – this can range from your rental car breaking down to helping you navigate unsafe situations with access to local emergency authorities. You’ll have someone to help guide you through any unforeseen event.

New travel safety alerts are published every day, 24 hours a day. Location intelligence is reviewed multiple times each year and updated more frequently if significant incidents change the local situation.
