Something new is happening with travel insurance - the addition of Evacuation benefits for non-medical reasons.  

Recently, some companies have added benefits for non-medical evacuations for reasons such as "Political and/or Social Upheaval" and in some cases "natural disasters" to their travel plans.  These benefits help transport you to a place of safety because of the named reasons. In most plans these benefits are part of the 24/7  Assistance services rather than the the Emergency Medical Evacuation coverage.  The following grid provides a brief summary of what they provide:
