What is ISOS and how does it benefit UMB travelers?
International SOS (ISOS) is a worldwide medical and security assistance provider, whose full range of services are available to those traveling internationally for UMB.
All who conduct international travel on behalf of UMB are covered by International SOS and must register when they travel as part of their UMB work or study; please note that setting up your account will require UMB’s membership number, which can be found on the membership card. All UMB travelers should download the International SOS app for mobile-phone access to their services while traveling (don't forget to get international coverage and turn on alerts!) and print a copy of the International SOS membership card to carry while traveling.
Travelers who use UMB's travel agency will have their itineraries automatically sent to International SOS for inclusion in their Travel Tracking database. Those booking outside of the travel agency must either forward their itinerary to UMBTravel@itinerary.internationalsos.com or manually enter their trip via the MyTrips function (found on UMB's International SOS portal or in the Assistance App. Those booking travel on behalf of another person should forward the itinerary to UMBTravel-TO@itinerary.internationalsos.com and put the traveler in the CC line. International Operations uses this itinerary data in order for safety and security purposes; failure to upload trips booked outside of UMB's travel agency may limit UMB's ability to assist in the event of an emergency.
