During a natural disaster, political upheaval, or other emergency, consular officers assist American citizens with transportation, evacuation, and in keeping them safe. This is just one of the many reasons that we encourage you to register your trip before you depart."

The problem no one at a US Embassy or at the state department has read their own web site or their regulations.
