That is exactly where I start before I travel abroad.  The US state 
department has an interest in keeping the travelers safe while abroad, 
so they will usually keep the site as up date as they can.  There are 
other public resources available.  The advice here is country specific 
(areas to avoid, things to do/not to do) sensitivities, along with those 
common sense recommendation about awareness of surroundings, traveling 
in groups, et cetera.
I hope this helps.
