Travel Security

When Travel Turns Critical

A Practical Crisis-Response Workbook for Business Travelers and Small Organizations

by Warren Pulley

When a trip goes wrong, nobody should have to decide who decides.

A traveler misses a check-in. A spouse gets a 4 a.m. call claiming a colleague has been kidnapped, with a disappearing “proof of life” photo. A protest fills the square outside the hotel. Flights are cancelled because airspace has closed. Large companies have a security operations center for these moments. Most small companies, nonprofits, universities, churches, and solo consultants don’t, so they improvise at the worst possible time.

This paired traveler and home-office workbook helps you make the key decisions in a calm room before departure and hand them off clearly.

• 20 numbered fill-in forms, from a trip go/no-go sheet, traveler profile, and contact card to a first-hour incident log, family script, post-trip debrief, policy template, and tabletop planner
• A missed-check-in escalation ladder with times, rungs, and numbers, so the person at home knows exactly what to do and when
• Code-word and independent callback procedures built on FBI warnings about virtual kidnapping and AI voice impersonation
• A shelter-or-relocate worksheet that shows when a situation is beyond your organization and who to call next
• Plain-English basics for medical emergencies, lost passports, arrest and detention, stranding, and what the embassy can and cannot do
• Nine clearly labeled fictional scenarios with debriefs, a tabletop exercise guide, and a 30-day implementation plan

Built for operations and HR managers, trip leaders, executive assistants, and business travelers whose employer has no travel-security function. Not legal or medical advice.
