Tips given by a UN security advisor -

Avoid crowded places in Colombo and travelling around at night since sudden curfews/security checks can't be ruled out. carry your passports/ID cards/business cards.

have a mobile phone and key local contact telephone numbers with you.if you have to go out at night, keep the interior lights on in the vehicle.

always keep a slight distance from the vehicle in front so you can turn round or into side street if anything happens around you (driver should be able to see the tyres of the vehicle in front).

if you are trapped in traffic and bombs or firing is taking place get on the floor board or crawl out of the vehicle, lie on the ground and wait for things to quieten down. If there is a ditch or drain nearby get in - dirty or not. Shrapnel and T56 bullets can pierce the doors.

Dont Stay near Pilawoos.

Don't run or shout.
