V. SECURITY LEVELS
The Security Plan is broken down into four separate phases, characterized by the overall situation, security levels and a
number of potential indicators that should assist decision-making when moving from one phase to the next. We are
dealing with trends. Each phase consists of specific security arrangements for responding to identified risks. The
decision to move from one level to another can only be taken by the CoM and/or the Logistics Coordinator, and
validated by the desk at Headquarters.
When a specific event occurs, the situation can develop very fast and we therefore may have to
change the security level very quickly.
A. Level 1: Overall situation calm with permanent security risk
Security level 1 corresponds to a calm situation not requiring the setting up of any special
security measures.

B. Level 2 – Unstable situation but no specific tension

programme activities.
