If you do decide to travel to Honduras, you should exercise extreme caution.
On 28 June 2009 the Honduran President Zelaya was expelled by the Honduran armed forces. Military personnel have been deployed on the streets. The situation remains fluid and there is potential for an increase in violence. Australians in Honduras are advised to remain indoors where possible and avoid all demonstrations and large public gatherings.
On 5 July 2009, the Honduran authorities temporarily closed the international airport in the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa. Further closures could occur with little notice and other departure options may be limited. You should confirm with your airline the latest situation on flights and monitor the media.
If you are in Honduras and concerned about the security situation, you should consider leaving. If you decide to stay, you should ensure that you have adequate supplies of water, food, fuel, cash and medications. You should also ensure that your documentation remains up-to-date. The Australian Government's ability to provide consular services may be limited. See the Civil Unrest/Political Tension section for more information.
The hurricane season is June to November when landslides, mudslides and flooding may occur. In the case of a hurricane, monitor local media reports and follow the instructions of local emergency officials.
