-If they are leaving the country have the contact info for the nearest US Embassy.
-Have them leave a copy of their itinerary with you, as well as copies of their passport, airline tickets, license and credit cards they are bringing. Have them also bring their own copy; they will keep separate from the originals.
-Make sure they are up to date on laws and customs of the area they are traveling to, particularly if they are leaving the country.
