🎯 Key Risk Factors Identified

Economic

Risk Assessment: Pressure on Lebanon's already fragile economy from regional instability, refugee inflows and potential sanctions linked to neighboring conflicts.

For Individuals & Companies: Companies should diversify cash handling: keep minimal cash on site, use secure banking channels, and store any necessary cash in locked, fire‑rated safes. Employees must carry ID documents, avoid displaying wealth, and inform a trusted contact of daily routes. Maintain backup power (generators) and fuel reserves in well‑ventilated, locked rooms; ensure generators are fitted with fire extinguishers and smoke detectors.

Security

Risk Assessment: Heightened risk of cross‑border spill‑over attacks, missile interceptions and possible civil unrest triggered by regional conflicts.

For Individuals & Companies: Facility security: install quality deadbolts on all entry doors, add wrought‑iron bars to ground‑level windows, and ensure perimeter fencing with motion‑activated intruder detection. Keep outdoor lighting on at all times. Employees should avoid political discussions, refrain from photographing government or military sites, and limit sharing location information online. Establish a real‑time communication tree: a designated safety officer, a check‑in schedule, and a safe‑room protocol with locked doors and fire‑extinguishers.

Infrastructure

Risk Assessment: Potential disruptions to electricity, water and communications due to regional missile activity and strained national grids.

For Individuals & Companies: Install uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) for critical IT equipment and keep fire‑rated cabinets locked. Secure water storage tanks behind locked fences and install leak‑detect sensors. Ensure all fire safety equipment (extinguishers, smoke detectors, clearly marked escape routes) is inspected monthly. Employees should keep personal valuables hidden in vehicles, carry a portable flashlight, and have a pre‑planned evacuation route that avoids known conflict zones.
