IV. Top Risk Drivers

• Official Travel Advisory Level 3 (high) — The US State Department maintains a Level 3 Reconsider Travel advisory for Venezuela, supported by similar warnings from the UK and other North American and European governments. → Postpone non-essential travel to Venezuela until security conditions improve and official advisories are lowered.
• Acute Instability and Flight Cancellations (high) — International authorities warn of acute instability and ongoing flight cancellations affecting transit and security inside the country. → Review commercial flight availability continuously and maintain contingency evacuation plans.
• Severe Crime and Governance Risks (high) — Crime score of 80 reflects severe risks regarding violent incidents, and governance scores highlight systemic institutional vulnerabilities. → Maintain strict situational awareness and avoid high-risk districts entirely.

V. Threat Vectors

VI. Executive Summary
