What environments do you consider too dangerous for your organization to operate? Indicate the maximum acceptable level for each category below. This may be different for long-term staff, short-term teams, and locals. Typically, organizations begin with an evaluation for long-term staff, but this may vary based on your mission/vision.
The highlight represents our outer limit with the trigger points listed in the chart. In other words, we do not wish to go there as standard practice, and if someone seeks this freedom, we look to specific calling and affirmation to enter that zone.
- Extreme risk- we would be hard pressed to send them to this location. we not as a practice send someone here.
- Basic risk (not listed in the trigger points for risk factors below) would allow freedom of movement, freedom of expression, low crime, assess to food, stable government and economy, etc.)
Risk Factor | Moderate | High | Extreme |
Government Scrutiny/Interrogation | Expulsion | Short Term Detention | Long Term Detention/Execution |
Political Stability | Street Protests | Routine Infighting | Active War Zones |
