Immediate steps: (1) Call your bank via international number (save it before travel). Most banks have 24/7 fraud lines. (2) Cancel the card via app or call. (3) File police report at nearest station (1 hour, gets a case number). (4) Have backup card + some cash ready always. Emergency card replacement takes 3-10 days to Sri Lanka.

Prevention: notify bank of travel dates pre-trip. Carry TWO cards from different banks (Visa + Mastercard) in separate places. Keep photo of card fronts in encrypted app for reference. Western Union or MoneyGram can wire emergency cash from home.
