Control Risks Group – the renowned risk consultancy – has decided to partner Hunt & Palmer International (the global aircraft charter broker) in providing businesses with emergency planning and evacuation capabilities for its clients stationed around the globe.
For its part, Control Risks will provide risk assessment, end-to-end evacuation planning, management training and 24-hour monitoring of a given situation. Hunt & Palmer's team will have aircraft on 24-hour stand-by at appropriate airports as necessary.

In recent times, the Casablanca and Riyadh bombings and threat of airport terrorist attacks in Kenya has led to heightened security awareness around airports and major cities. In response, International SOS is offering security managers some useful tips on how to react, and those places that staff should avoid.

"If you suspect a chemical or even a biological attack," said Ian Hawkins, principal of security consultancy Ian Hawkins Associates, "move away from the source as fast as possible. Try and cover any exposed skin with whatever clothing you have available. Cover your mouth with a handkerchief that's been soaked in water, take shallow breaths and then seek medical attention."
