Staying informed when travelling outside Canada has been made a little bit easier thanks to a service designed specifically for Canadians abroad.

The Registration of Canadians Abroad (ROCA) is a free government service that notifies Canadian citizens living or travelling outside the country of emergencies both abroad and at home. It is especially handy for those travelling in areas prone to natural disasters or civil unrest, the government said on its online information page.
