American Samoa is an unincorporated U.S. territory in the South Pacific. Crime rates are low, though petty theft can occur in populated areas. The territory is subject to tropical cyclones and occasional tsunamis; travellers should monitor weather advisories during the wet season (November to April). Medical facilities are limited, with the LBJ Tropical Medical Center being the primary hospital; serious medical conditions may require evacuation to Hawaii or the U.S. mainland. Visitors should ensure adequate travel insurance that covers medical evacuation.
