The embassy is not omniscient, they know as much (and as little) as anyone else. No higher knowledge there.
If they've rented a place of refuge, that might be worth checking. The consular facilities are NOT the place to go because (a) a target of the baddies and (b) not enough room or facilities for evacuees.
If they think they need to evac, make sure you're on the list (if you can telephone, and if you're not already) or contact a warden if you can.
Every country in the world with a US embassy has one or more preplanned evac points, refuge points, and an evac plan.
But remember, the embassy staffers are stuck there just like you at the moment. You and they have an equal view of the situation on the ground (heck, your may even be better than the embassy's). Scary, huh?
good advice...
