Tell the Ministry where you are going
If you are a Norwegian citizen and are travelling abroad, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants you to register your whereabouts on their web site -- but this also holds true for permanent residents who are not Norwegian citizens. If you register your travel, the Ministry will have an easier time getting in touch with you if something should happen where you are.

Risky destinations
The Ministry keeps tabs on ongoing risky situations in different countries. The Ministry may recommend against travel to certain parts of the world due to war, natural catastrophes or other reasons. You can read more about this on the Ministry's list of risky destinations (in Norwegian). The US State Department also maintains an up-to-date searchable website on traveller risks, mainly designed for an American audience, but with useful information for all travellers nevertheless.
