The Safety Tips for the USA and Welcome to the USA are handbooks provided to AFS hosted students prior to their arrival to the U.S. You can download these handbooks for your reference. It is also good to check to make sure that the hosted students in your community have a copy. It is not uncommon for AFS hosted students to lose or forget to bring their copy of the handbook when they are in the U.S. and on program.
