From ASI Essentials sidebar:

ASI Essentials

ASI recognizes that some organizations prefer to distribute pre-written destination briefings to travelers. To meet this need, ASI developed a database of short 2-page briefings on cities around the world – including 50 of the top destinations in the United States. ASI Essentials includes all the pertinent information on a particular location in a short and concise format that is written specifically with the traveler in mind.

Each ASI Essential briefing includes:

Destination Threat Rating
Country Overview
City Overview
Security Situation
Assessment of local police capabilities
Airport Information
Hotel Information
Fire Safety
Communications
Cultural Tips
Serving Airlines
Health Issues
Currency

Emergency Contact Information – including embassy and consulate information for six different nationalities



From the World Watch Online sidebar:
World Watch® Online

World Watch® Online is a comprehensive Internet-based database of travel and security-related intelligence information. The system is utilized by security departments, travel departments and flight departments to provide internal risk assessments and informational briefings for employees bound for international destinations. It is also utilized by major insurance companies to support its policy writers as well as a useful tool for its policy-holders. Government agencies utilize World Watch for verification purposes for classified intelligence as well as a source of non-classified information for staff members who do not have sufficient clearance.
ASI was among the early pioneers in offering online information to organizations around the globe. World Watch® debuted as a dial-up service in the mid-1990s and later became one of the first travel security and intelligence services on the Internet. Since its inception, World Watch® has received numerous accolades for the quality and thoroughness of its coverage.
