"We are in touch with several hundred private American citizens who we understand to be in Sudan. And of those, many of those have our registered through our Smart Traveler program, which, as I said, has been a mechanism in which we've been in direct communication with them to talk about security precautions and other measures that they can take on their own. But given the fluidity of the situation, I'm not going to get more specific than that," Patel said.
