Get to the embassy, go out on the next supply chopper?
"Get to the embassy, go out on the next supply chopper?"
No, to do 2 specific things: (1) register your presence in country, with contact info should events lead to an evac; (2) take a look at the refuge point and see if it's to your liking (it probably won't be).
The embassy staff has no better or worse information than any other American in Beirut, except with regard to potential evacs. Period.
