Re-evaluation of an International Location Risk Level

Reliant will require a formal risk assessment every year for all current (and potential) locations to determine the Risk Level for the specific team's locationreassesses the Risk Level of your location depending on changes happening in or around your location or if prompted by you or your team leader.

Additionally, a location-specific risk assessment will be performed if:

• There is a significant change in the security climate of a location due to governmental, environmental, societal, or other significant factors
• If an evacuation took place a new assessment will be performed before returning
• The location is deemed to be at a generally high-risk level and Reliant leadership determines that more frequent evaluations are necessary

Steps for submission

1. Each team (or team leader) will perform a risk assessment each year, considering the events that are likely or impactful.
2. They will provide the Reliant ICMT with their assessment.
3. In turn, Reliant has provided contingency planning templates for each type of risk (See Contingency Planning)
4. The team leader will customize contingency planning templates specific to the risks of their location. The number of contingency plans required correlate with the International Risk Levels for your location. 
5. The Crisis Management Plan for your team and team members also correlates with what is needed for the contingency plans

Who Determines Risk?

Reliant will gather information from the Field Leader, Church/Ministry Partner, Team Members, Approved Third-Party Decision Makers (Sending Network, Sending Church, etc), Program Team Director, Concilium, etc. The final decision on the location's risk level will be determined by Reliant's International Crisis Management Team.
