Threat Level: Elevated

🎯 Key Risk Factors Identified

Economic

Risk Assessment: Lebanon's currency crisis, banking restrictions, and regional sanctions continue to limit liquidity and increase the cost of imports.

For Individuals & Companies: Companies should maintain cash reserves in hard currency, diversify payment channels, and enforce strict expense controls. Employees should avoid carrying large sums of cash, keep identification documents secure, and inform a trusted contact of their daily whereabouts when traveling for work.

Security

Risk Assessment: Escalating Israeli‑Palestinian clashes and Iranian drone activity raise the risk of spill‑over attacks, protests, or sudden security checkpoints within Lebanese borders.

For Individuals & Companies: Facility security: ensure all entrances are well‑lit, install high‑quality deadbolts, add wrought‑iron bars to ground‑floor windows, and deploy perimeter fencing with motion‑activated intruder alerts. Individuals: carry ID, avoid displaying valuables, limit discussion of politics, stay aware of checkpoint locations, and share movement plans with a reliable colleague. Companies should conduct daily security briefings, establish safe rooms, and have evacuation routes mapped.

Infrastructure

Risk Assessment: Chronic power outages, water shortages, and limited fuel supplies exacerbate operational risks for businesses and daily life.

For Individuals & Companies: Install backup generators with regular maintenance, keep fire extinguishers and smoke detectors functional, and designate clear emergency escape routes. Store essential supplies (water, non‑perishable food, fuel) in secure, locked storage. Employees should keep valuables out of sight in vehicles, be prepared for sudden blackouts, and avoid congregating near critical infrastructure during peak usage times.
