I signed up years ago. Still get emails from them. James does a better job posting the messages here than I do getting them in my in box.

[Tukaram (Tim)]

Yeah I use it.  Mostly just get fear mongering emails from the embassy ha ha.  But I did an email after Yolanda asking if I was still here, and if I was ok or needed anything.  So it probably is a good thing. 

 

At first I was not going to sign up because it was just "big brother" watching me.  But with my passport and immigration visits - they know where I am if they want to anyway...

I signed up too. Like Tuka said, it will help if I am in a disaster area or should there ever be an emergency evacuation of the country.

Just registered, thanks.
