Effective 12:01 AM EDT Friday, July 1, 2022, GPA Digital Help Desk support will be significantly reduced. The 24/7/365 Help Desk that GPA has maintained in the past will only be available to publish time-sensitive alerts and messages that protect American citizens’ safety. Other website updates, including routine alerts and messages, will be the responsibility of mission staff.
