WEEKLY ROUND-UP (13 DEC-19 DEC)

We will go back on some of our past week tweets of interest and expand further on the indicators that we presented, as they affect the security situation of a country. When we produce vulnerability assessments for our clients, six vulnerability (threats) factors are analyzed and assessed while four hazards are also analyzed and assessed. If gaps are identified they are covered by atmospherics elements.The goal of our tweets is to highlight and provide examples of the research that we do. It is not a complete list but merely a very small sample for our followers.


From 14 December:

1. St-Lucia update: Dengue epidemic possible: 220+ cases? (The Jamaica Observer Online).What does it mean for travelers there? Contact us.

From 16 December:

2. St-Martin (Caribbean) update: 10 cases of chikungunya french side of island. (CDC). Currently no vaccine; consult us for protective measures.
Comment: The presence of various health hazards are always worrisome to travelers.
Standard preventive practices such as vaccines are warranted while all recommendations must be adhered to. The problem remains that risk factors must be analyzed: contagion, epidemics, type of infectious disease, etc have to be identified to assess what is the exact degree of hazard and how can one prevent contraction. When travellers contact us for travel to high risk countries we fully research and identify all threats, risks and hazards and analyse situations separately. We accurately determine vulnerabilities, we generate our assessments and our final recommendations on mitigation or avoidance are articulated to our clients in the form of a confidential vulnerability assessment written report that remains the property of the clients. Real time updates are also forwarded while in country. Disease prevention and avoidance is instrumental in our advice.

From 19 December:

3. Peru update: Policemen accused of extortion arrested. We accurately assessed this on 04 Dec. Rely on us for all travel security requirements.
Comment: Contrary to most other travel security firms or even governments travel advisories websites, we do not report the news; we do not report after fact situations. To report the obvious is meaningless, and lacks critical timeliness for the well being of travelers. What distinguishes us from our competitors is that we provide accurate insight in what is likely to occur for our clients while in high risk countries. We assess what happens next from a vulnerability standpoint. It is too easy to report on a given situation, however to analyze and to eloquently express what it all means while accurately assessing what is likely to happen next is very indicative of our unique services. No gadgets, no gimmicks. We provide the intelligence that our clients fully require for safety and mission success.
