What is a Hostile Environment?
The Lifesigns group believes that war zones are not the only hostile environments, anywhere there is a potential threat to the individual’s safety and security can be described as a hostile environment.
This could include any of the following areas:
- Terrorist Activity
- Extreme Poverty
- Unfriendly Governments
- Religious Fanaticism
- Inhospitable Physical Environments
- Military, Civil or Political Unrest
- Inner-city Deprivation
- Poor Health and Hygiene
