  • Global Terrorism | AG Global Strategies

    Global Security Threats: Find out about the threat of global terrorism around the world . Find out about security threats around the world, from terrorism, serious crime and kidnap to natural disasters, overseas emergencies and cybercrime. Global Security Threats Global Terrorism Global Terrorism is a serious threat to the international community. Including, western individuals travelling or living abroad overseas and a substantial threat to indigenous individuals located near, or within unstable regions or areas of terrorist activity. ​ Globally, every region has recorded a higher average impact of terrorism in recent years than in the early 2000s. The increase in the impact of terrorism was greatest felt in the Middle East and North Africa, followed by sub-Saharan Africa. ​ There is considered to be a heightened threat of terrorist attacks globally, especially against western interests and nationals from groups, or individuals motivated by the recent conflicts in these areas. Global terrorism is an unfortunate reality of modern times. These indiscriminate and targeted acts can come from a number of terrorist organisations, small groups, or lone individuals. These attacks can affect any person, establishment, or business at any time and target any location across the globe. ​ Conflict remains the primary driver of terrorism in most countries throughout the world. The countries with the highest impact of terrorism will generally be engaged in at least one conflict. Although these countries account for the majority of all deaths from terrorism in recent years, during and following these conflicts there has been a substantially increased threat and increased number of targeted attacks against the public, police, government and the military of countries and communities outside of these regions. ​ Terrorism is a threat that does not recognise borders and may affect states and peoples irrespective of their geographical location. Stable seemingly unaffected states and citizens residing in these areas are not an exception. Individuals and groups who believe that they can advance their political aims by using terror pose a serious threat to societies around the world and the rights and freedoms of citizens, especially by indiscriminately targeting innocent people. ​ Increasingly terrorists attack targets that are not well-protected places, or areas, and where an attack against a soft target would be the most devastating. These places include entertainment and recreational events and facilities, places of worship, tourist sites, airports and transport networks or links. Significant dates, anniversaries, public holidays, religious festivals and political events are all examples of places and times that have been targeted. Terrorists have also conducted attacks in response to international political or social developments, that they have considered offensive. Terrorist groups and organisations have been constrained in a number of ways and now exploit technology to organise attacks. This includes social media to inspire or direct so-called ‘lone wolf’ attacks which are difficult to predict and disrupt and could take place in almost any country at any time. Though this means terrorists have a wide audience and motivate sympathisers to carry out attacks by remotely calling for violence, of any nature, against any target across the world. Which includes random small-scale attacks against innocent people and symbols of their perceived hostile party. ​ Although governments and the justice systems in many countries have taken a harder line against terrorism, including being better prepared and dedicating more resources to defend against global and local terrorism, which in turn has had an effect of reducing the impact of terrorism in recent years, there are areas in which the threat and potential acts of terrorism look set to increase in the near future. ​ Back Securing our world Contact us Global Security Risk Management & Security Services

This is true of a country of residence or while travelling around the world. ​ Major incidents around the world are becoming less frequent, but the risk of an accident or incident happening to an individual is still a serious threat wherever they may be. Suitable measures are advised, as many dangers persist and the severity of an incident can cause loss of life and devastation. Fire, accidents or injury can strike and affect anyone at any time. Regardless of lifestyle, profession, occupation or working environment, the activity taking place, surroundings or the precautions taken, there are risks associated with any pursuit in life. Although in this modern era risk and safety are much more of a consideration in working and everyday life, individual and major accidents or incidents regularly take place across the globe, from developing to advanced countries and cities, at home and abroad.​ ​ Although the volume and frequency of these events may be decreasing in most parts of the world, the dangers can not be eliminated. Across the world, there are various levels of safety standards and regulations which can vary widely and make it difficult to identify how safe a country is, regarding its infrastructure, transportation, roads, buildings etc, including, identifying how well their emergency services and healthcare services can cope with minor incidents or major complex emergencies of all kinds. ​ There are numerous and often complex causes of fire, accidents, incidents and injury, that may be difficult to mitigate. Whether an event is caused unintentionally, intentionally, by nature or other. Causes are actions, omissions, events, conditions, or a combination and can include anything from, structural failure, the failure or malfunction of machinery, engineering, a weather event, unnecessary risks being taken or complacency of individuals, management, authorities, organisations or other human error. ​ The fallibility of the human element can not be understated, as many events, particularly in this modern era, involve human error, which can lead to a higher risk of incidents taking place, which can include voluntary actions, a failure to act, corruption and criminal negligence etc. There are also instances in less regulated industries or other, fire safety or health and safety funding can be lacking or withdrawn, or insufficient planning put in place, due to a decline of incidents or a misplaced belief an event is unlikely to happen. This can be compounded with shortcuts being taken, whether procedural, design, construction or other. ​ Additionally, it has been known that due to the responsibility of fire precaution and health & safety being removed from the individual, a false sense of security may hinder suitable precautions being taken by an individual for their personal safety, coworker's safety, family's safety or for others, at home or abroad, resulting in a lack of situational awareness and unnecessary risks being taken, or a slow reaction to an emergency taking place. ​ Organisations around the world have a duty to put in place suitable arrangements to manage health and safety and fire safety. It should be part of the everyday process of running a business and an integral part of workplace behaviours and attitudes for every size, industry or nature of an organisation. In recent years, safety standards across industries and the corporate world have changed and the approach to occupational health and safety is changing for the better across the globe. Companies of all sizes and types are shifting from a reactive attitude to a conscious management of operational safety issues, a prelude to the development of a real corporate culture of occupational health & safety. This has added to the overall decline of serious incidents and has been a major factor contributing to the positive trend of improvements in safety standards around the globe, nonetheless, further attention needs to be given to this area and responsibilities highlighted. ​ ​ Fire - The risk of fire is ever present anywhere in the world. Fires and smoke inhalation can lead to huge loss of life in a very short period of time and can occur within any domestic or non-domestic structure, transportation method and any natural area under certain conditions. Isolated or major fire incidents may occur in any number of structures including houses, hotels, apartment blocks, offices, to any transportation inclusive of any road vehicle, train, aircraft, ferry and infrastructure including ports, airports, road tunnels or industry sites, operational locations and storage facilities. All have varying hazards, combustible material and degrees of danger associated with each particular structure, method of transport or environment. ​ Fire safety has always been a critical issue around the world and concerns are growing in many countries due to an increase in population density and in relation to building construction materials. As many modern cities are home to hundreds of high-rise buildings and are constructed using a variety of flammable materials generating concern about fire safety. Building regulations in many countries have begun to address fire safety issues, in particular risk to life and protection of property. Selection of suitably flame-retardant building materials is important in structural design and is now being considered by more authorities, however in many countries around the world, existing buildings may not comply with a good standard of building codes found in countries addressing these issues. ​​ ​ Fire incidents of all types can have devastating effects, resulting in mass loss of life and destruction of buildings, infrastructure and personal property. It is important not to underestimate the risk of fire in familiar or unfamiliar locations. It is also important not to underestimate the behaviour of fire and its different characteristics. Typical fire development occurs over four consecutive stages - incipient, growth, fully developed and decay with each stage with varying degrees of risk. Despite the provision of new active control technologies, such as sprinkler systems and smoke detectors, full fire prevention can still not be achieved. These preventive measures may only be effective in the pre-flashover stages of a developing fire and become ineffective as the fire develops to flashover and steady burning, where the involvement of firefighters becomes critical. ​ ​ ​ Transport - Transport accidents occur across the world to varying degrees and frequency, these incidents mainly involve private vehicles on public roads, but frequently involve other types of transport including, trains, aircraft and boats of various kinds. There are well-practised plans in place in most advanced countries, including in most major populated areas and cities that can deal with these events at a local and regional level, but this cannot be guaranteed or is not in place in several developing countries around the world. Also, rare major transport accidents which require a form of national emergency response may be completely lacking. Thanks to modern safety regimes, large-scale transport accidents are very rare, nevertheless they cannot be entirely ruled out. ​ Air - In recent years the safety of air travel has been very good and safety measures have continued to improve. Over the last two decades, aviation deaths around the world have been steadily falling. With this, there has unfortunately been a number of major disasters involving aircraft, but there continues to be a downward trend in air accidents across the world. Aviation safety varies across regions, countries and airlines, resulting in more incidents in certain less regulated places with airlines with poor safety records, but air travel continues to be one of the safest ways to travel around the globe. ​ Sea - Sea travel and ferry crossings have been getting safer over recent years. Safety standards have been improving around the globe, however, recent incidents of capsized vessels demonstrate the potential for loss of life on a massive scale when flooding of a vessel occurs. There have been well-documented incidents where ferries have been hit by a container ship and rapidly sank. These incidents are becoming less frequent, but incidents can occur with any vessel and continue to happen more often in poorer parts of the world. ​ Rail - Whilst accidents do occur much more frequently on road networks, the scale of a major rail incident may warrant a coordinated central government response that many countries around the world could not facilitate. Continuing improvements to rail safety regimes and infrastructure over recent years around the world have seen a substantial reduction in both the frequency and impact of rail accidents, but developing countries in particular unfortunately see incidents happen with major injuries and loss of life. ​ Road - Around the globe, motor vehicle accidents are one of the major causes of serious injury and loss of life, with rates highest in the developing world. The most common victim of roadside incidents and deaths are vulnerable road users, which includes pedestrians, cyclists, or operators of other two-wheeled vehicles. Approximately 3,000 car-related deaths occur every day around the world. Alcohol and other drugs are found to be contributing causes in up to 22% of vehicular accidents on the world’s roads. Automobile-related deaths rank as the 11th most common cause of death in many places, particularly developing countries, with young people in the age groups from 5 to 24 years old possessing the highest risks.

    Global Security Threats: Find out about the threat of natural disasters around the world. Find out about security threats around the world, from terrorism, serious crime and kidnap to natural disasters, overseas emergencies and cybercrime. Global Security Threats Natural Disasters Natural disasters can happen at any time, anywhere around the world and can have devastating effects on the local population and on those who happen to be in the vicinity of the event, the surrounding areas, or the region itself. ​ Planning and preparing for a natural disaster or event is an important part of risk mitigation. It is also an integral part of ensuring a person's individual safety, the safety of an organisation, a business and its staff and the safety of property, assets and critical infrastructure when operating anywhere in the world. Unpredictability is the nature of most natural hazards, events and disasters across the world. These life-threatening, confined or mass incidents, can happen without warning and can be devastating to the local population, those visiting, people or groups travelling through the area, travelling near the event, or those in the immediate surrounding areas affected by their close proximity to the region involved. ​ ​ A natural hazard is a threat of a naturally occurring event that can have a negative effect on anyone caught in this situation. This negative effect is considered a natural disaster when the event subsequently causes harm to individuals and people directly involved. Natural hazards and the resulting disasters are the results of naturally occurring processes that can happen at any given time. Most hazardous events are geologic processes, which include, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, landslides and subsidence. These can occur at any location around the world and can cause loss of life and property. ​ Non-geological events include floods, droughts, tropical cyclones, hurricanes, severe thunderstorms, lightning and tornados, which can happen in regions typically associated with these events, but still have a drastic effect on the population and area in general. Other hazards that do not fall into the categories above can include, disease epidemics, insect infestations and serious wildfires. Natural Hazards can also be divided into catastrophic hazards, these events have devastating consequences for large numbers of people, or have an effect that can have worldwide ramifications. Including, massive volcanic eruptions, worldwide disease epidemics, worldwide droughts and in the extreme, impacts from large space objects within populated areas. Such catastrophic hazards have a limited chance of occurring but can have extremely devastating results if they occur.​ ​ Additionally, natural Hazards can also be divided into rapid onset hazards, these include, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, flash floods, landslides, severe lightning and thunderstorms, and wildfires, these develop quickly with little warning. Slow onset hazards, like drought, insect infestations, and disease epidemics can take years to develop, so require a level of situational awareness be a high priority when travelling to any region affected. ​ ​ Other hazards that occur as a result of human interaction with the environment, including, technological hazards - the exposure to hazardous substances. This can include asbestos, mercury, radioactive material, harmful dust and toxic smoke inhalation from fires. This category can also include other hazards that have a negative effect only through human interaction, such as acid rain, and contamination of the atmosphere or large bodies of water with harmful substances, as well as the potential consequences of global warming. ​ The effects of natural hazards and hazardous processes of all types can have primary, secondary, and tertiary effects. Primary effects occur as a result of the process itself (i.e the collapse of a building during an earthquake, volcanic eruption, or flood). Secondary effects occur only because a primary effect has caused them (i.e a gas explosion or fires ignited in a collapsed building as a result of an earthquake). Tertiary effects are long-term effects that are set off as a result of a primary event (i.e the loss of habitat due to a flood or earthquake event). Vulnerability to hazards and disasters can depend on - the proximity to a potential hazard or event, the population density in the area near the event, a lack of understanding of the hazards in the area, public education and awareness of the hazards, serviceability or existence of early-warning systems and lines of communication, availability and readiness of emergency services, the robustness of infrastructure construction and building codes and cultural factors that influence the public response to warnings. ​ In general, less developed countries are more vulnerable to natural hazards than more advanced countries, this can be because of a lack of understanding, education, and the quality of the infrastructure and buildings in the area. Poverty also is an issue, as this leads to poor building structures, increased population density, and a lack of infrastructure and communications to react to an event.​ ​ ​ Hazard assessment and risk assessments are important parts of protecting people and ensuring their safety. Hazard assessments consist of determining when and where a hazardous process has occurred in the past, the severity of the effects of past hazardous processes, the frequency of occurrence of hazardous processes, the likely effects of a process if it were to occur and disseminating this information to the responsible persons making the decisions during or after an event or disaster. ​ Risk assessments involve the assessment of hazards and also the impact of a hazardous event on a person, group or structure. Risk is a statement of probability that an event will cause a determined level of damage or a statement of the impact in monetary terms that an event will cause. The risk assessment involves the location of buildings, highways, and other infrastructure in the areas subject to hazards potential exposure. It includes the effects of a hazardous situation and the vulnerability of the persons or groups involved when subjected to the effects of the event. The risk assessment's objective is to aid decision-makers, compare and evaluate potential hazards, set priorities on what kinds of mitigation are possible and set priorities on where to focus resources and further action in a crisis event. ​ All of these hazards and events have been happening throughout history, but due to the increased population of the world and a more globalised world in general, more people may be directly or indirectly affected by these hazards during their lifetime. ​ Risk is an inherent part of being exposed to natural hazards and is characteristic of the association between people and natural events. Risks from natural hazards can in some cases be understood and while the risks involved cannot be eliminated, they can be considered, planned for and minimised. Resulting in a positive outcome if caught within the event's centre or near the region of an event. ​ To do this, there needs to be an understanding of the processes and dangers associated with these hazards, and understand the risks in the area and country being visited, travelling through, or residing in. Then, an assessment can be conducted and an action plan can be developed to minimise the risk. Such minimisation of risk is hazard mitigation.
