Risk Assessment Of Terrorist Acts Based On Study Of Diversity Of Objectives

Table 3:

Index Category Value Description
Probability of attack Certain threat (I) >76 Objective or similar object suffered from the terrorist attack and the threat was identified by special services.
Possible (II) 50-75 Objective or similar object suffered from the terrorist attack and the threat was not identified by special services.
Potential (III) 25-49 The area near the objective suffered from the attack, but not the objective.
Minimal (IV) <25 Objective and surrounding area were not affected by the attack.
Objectivevulnerability Very high (I) >76 A nationally significant objective that has a very high appeal to terrorists, and protection measures or level of protection are extremely insufficient.
High (II) 50-75 A regionally significant objective, a great attraction for terrorists and protection measures or level of protection are insufficient.
Medium (III) 25-49 Regional objective with potential appeal to terrorists and inadequate protection
Maximum (IV) <25 Sufficiently low-profile objective, which has a possible attractiveness for terrorists and a sufficient level of protection (adequate)
Consequences Catastrophic (I) >76 Most people or assets are destroyed without the possibility of recovery; functioning is completely impossible and cannot be restored in a short time; serious indirect effects.
High (II) 50-75 Many people or property are damaged; the operation of part of the object is stopped and can be restored after some time; some degree of indirect effect.
Medium (III) 25-49 Some people or property is lost; general operation continues, some functions are temporarily stopped and can be restored after a short period of time; low indirect effects.
Low (IV) <25 Almost no loss of people and property; functioning continues. There are no indirect influences.
