Level 1: As a standard of practice, no international missionary should be living in a readiness level state of Level 1 (relaxed, unaware of surroundings, not prepared to react). Level 1 is considered US normal. Level 2: Overseas normal readiness level. Standard overseas threat level. Situations are taken care of locally by the field team. Level 3: Local Field Team manages the situation, but the team informs Reliant crisis manager so that Reliant can evaluate the situation. Typically at this level, the incident is localized and on a smaller scale. Reliant would not know of the incident without the field team informing us. Reliant would like to hear that "we are fine" and be available to help evaluate the situation and provide assistance if needed. Level 4: Field team is mostly managing the situation, but Reliant crisis manager is now actively involved in the decision-making and helping the field team directly. Level 5: Crisis Management Team is stepping in to now manage the situation. This is a major crisis resulting in ongoing disruption to operations or the threat now inhibits the ability of the team to safely continue. |
