<p>I have reviewed the student policies of a number of plans but none expressly state that they provide insurance, or at least assistance, with emergency evacuations for non-medical (read Security) purposes for students studying/interning abroad. Is anyone familiar with a company which does provide that for students in addition to medical emergency assistance? </p>
<p>Thanks for any information you may have.</p>
<p>Here is a link to one company that seems to offer security insurance. I don't know anything more about it. We are using a different company for medical insurance and emergency evacuation for our son. <a href="http://www.internationalsos.com/en/index.htm?CFID=9438073&CFTOKEN=63074092%5B/url%5D">http://www.internationalsos.com/en/index.htm?CFID=9438073&CFTOKEN=63074092</a></p>
<p>SOS International has a political emergency evacuation clause I am pretty sure....</p>
<p>Makes me a bit queasy. So if war breaks out in this foreign country and you have to get your kid out of Dodge ASAP.... do you then have to use an in-network provider?</p>
<p>We live in China for my husband's work - big US company - and they use SOS International for emergencies. We have a number we can call and they will give advice and help wherever we are. They worked out an evacuation plan with the company which they presented to us last winter during the bird flu hype. I have had several friends use them for medical evacuations as well.</p>
<p>Thanks - International SOS is so far the only company I have found that mentions providing non-medical emergency assistance.</p>
