Health
Visitors to Micronesia should be up to date on vaccinations for hepatitis A and B, typhoid, and measles. Medical facilities are adequate for simple treatment, but more serious problems may require medical evacuation to Guam of Australia. Adequate travel health insurance is a must and should cover the cost of any medical treatment abroad, as well as repatriation, including medical evacuation by air ambulance.

Local customs
Social etiquette in Micronesia is underpinned by non-assertive, respectful behaviour. Visitors should ensure at all times that they behave in a humble fashion, and especially that they do not indulge publicly in bawdy or overtly sexual behaviour. Visitors should always ask permission before taking someone's photo and should not click their tongue (in frustration or disappointment) if they refuse, as this is considered a form of swearing in Micronesia.
Male visitors should not rub their bellies, nor beckon someone toward them with their palm facing skyward, as both actions are construed as sexual overtures. It is often considered inappropriate for women (foreign or local) to be alone in public, which can make solo travel in Micronesia somewhat difficult for women.
