We will go back on some of our tweets of interest of the past week 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. If you are required to travel to high risk countries or regions, contact us for a gratuitous preliminary consultation.
From 19 January:
1. St Maarten update: Evidence that Chikungunya virus in Curacao
(http://curacaochronicle.com ). Virus not lethal; contact us for travel advice.
From 22 January:
2. PRC update: Over 23 new cases of H7N9 in past 15 days: "might spread" (cntv.cn). Travelling there? Talk to us first for hazard mitigation.
Our comment: Health hazards such as bacteria, viruses and vector borne diseases often constitute a serious danger for the traveler. Most often all precautions such as inoculations, vaccines and other preventative measures will successfully mitigate risks of becoming seriously ill or worse. That is the easy part. What we, at PAR-SEC Consulting do, is to research the hazards that are less known, what diseases are less reported and the bugs that are emerging and how they can adversely affect the traveler and our clients. We then assess the possibilities for all outcomes and the impacts that must be considered prior to travel and to prevent exposure. We are not medical experts or microbiologists however we have access to expert opinions that contribute to our findings and analysis and therefore we can confidently recommend a specific course of action in order to stay safe abroad and to return home unharmed.
We invite you to review our past twitter posts as well as this blog's entries. We encourage feedback and questions to our e-mail: parsec.consulting@gmail.com
