The U.S. Embassy in Tirana urged all American citizens to exercise caution in areas affected by worsening floods.

The embassy continues to monitor flooding across the country. Some areas are under evacuation orders.

“Floods can occur without warning. Rainfall may block roads due to floods or landslides,” the embassy warned.

Americans in Albania needing assistance can call the embassy at 4224-7285 (from Albania) or +355-4224-7285 (from abroad), or email [email protected].

The embassy advises Americans to avoid affected areas, especially those under evacuation. Follow police instructions regarding road closures and traffic disruptions.

Citizens should monitor local news for updates and plan travel accordingly. Google Maps may provide real-time road closure and flood information. Do not attempt to cross flooded areas. Find alternate routes or postpone travel if necessary.

The embassy encourages Americans in affected areas to stay safe, monitor local news, and contact loved ones or update their status on social media.

For immediate emergencies, call 127 for ambulance, 112 for police, or 128 for fire services. You can also contact the National Emergency at [email protected].
