security risks

Terrorists have conducted a number of attacks in Belgium in recent years and further attacks are possible. Since 2016, the threat from terrorism has shifted to low capability and low sophistication attacks conducted by individuals radicalized by extremist influencers or online.

U.S. State Department has alerted citizens to the heightened risk of potential terrorist attacks throughout Europe, targeting major events, tourist sites, restaurants, commercial centers and transportation.

Employees should be aware that information security risks can be greater during travel, as third parties present in foreign countries may monitor communications and transmissions.

travel security risk

	travel security risk levels	description
	Low	Low levels of non-violent crime may be present in business and tourist districts, hotels or other locations frequented by travelers, but violent crime is infrequent. Terrorist groups have limited operational capabilities or security and emergency services have the capacity to detect or adequately respond to a potential attack. Protests are mostly non-violent and rarely disrupt regular commerce, transportation and business operations. Industrial action and transport disruption are infrequent.
	Elevated	Crime is not pervasive, but non-violent and violent crime could impact visitors. Periodic political unrest, protests, and/or sporadic acts of terrorism occur, but are unlikely to directly impact business travelers. The capacity of security and emergency services and infrastructure varies. Industrial action can disrupt travel.
	High	Crime and terrorism pose significant direct or incidental risks to travelers. Anti-government or anti-western demonstrations may be commonplace or violent and could delay or prevent travel. Parts of the country are inaccessible or off-limits to the traveler.
	Critical	Violent crime and/or terrorism is pervasive and is directed at travelers. Political instability, domestic conflict and/or violent civil unrest pose significant risks. There is a high risk of arbitrary detention. Large parts of the country are inaccessible to foreigners.

healthcare infrastructure and disease risk

	levels	description
	A	Health care infrastructure is well developed, and site is often used as a referral center. It has competent care in English in most or all sub-specialties, including non-clinical adjuncts such as speech therapy, developmental needs, etc. Endemic diseases are well controlled or not significant. Chevron maintains or has ready access to health care resources. Business travelers should strongly consider consulting with Global Health and Medical prior to travel.
	B	Health care infrastructure is partially/poorly developed and not always available. Advanced care is on an emergency-only basis because of concerns about access, competence, communications in English, medical culture, follow up, hygiene, etc. or care is available for basic needs and sometimes for diagnostics only. Few or no non-clinical adjunctive care resources are present. Endemic diseases may be present with irregular or poor control. Chevron has limited or no internal health support and relies on limited external health care resources or external health resources are unreliable. Business travelers should strongly consider consulting with Global Health and Medical prior to travel.
