To me, advisory is an adjective. As such, it can neither be made nor advised.

Once again, you have confused the language of your own question with the language you are asking about.

The government has made an announcement in regard to the civilians safety while travelling outside the country.
One way to say this is The government has issued an advisory statement regarding [civilian] safety while travelling abroad. "Civilian" doesn't really add anything.

I realized that "advisory" is sometimes used as a noun in American English, usually modified by an adjective — and your scenario is one where you may see it used. The term I have in mind is travel advisory, a statement issued by authorities about potential risks affecting a particular kind of travel.

Or "The government has issued [new] safety advice for civilians travelling abroad".
