A Risk Assessment of Piql Services by FFI

Profile of actor (if intentional)

-

Abnormal amounts of rainfall in area not prone to such high levels of precipitation causes the river which runs through the city to overflow its banks. The severity of the flood causes water to cover an enormous area, including the location of the piqlVault. The raging waters consumes almost everything in its path, from mud, vegetation and rocks to debris and remnants of buildings, and also humans and animals. The flood claims several lives.

User/value

User class

Public non-sensitive.

User type

The National Supreme Court.

Value

All manner of legal documents preserved for documentational purposes. Used as important legal references to legal practice in the country, but also as historical records of the life and times in centuries past. Though the sensitivity of the information is not high in the sense that it is confidential, its value is still very high.

Location

Geographical zone: South (Southeast Asia). Historically, the rainy season has most affected other regions in the zone, but due to climate change floods can occur elsewhere. The developmental level of many parts of the continent is medium to high. It is rising in the region where the piqlVault is situated, but it still takes a long while before the workers reach and can start to clear the piqlVault. The piqlVault is situated in an urban area with a river running through it. Though the piqlVault is situated a safe distance from the river, the overflowing water covers an enormous area. The scenario takes place in the future, 2213. The time period is 0- 100/500 years, as the value is documentational records. The scenario is a risk for the present as well, but the scale and location of the flood, and thus the placement of the piqlVault, in this scenario presupposes a change in climate patterns. The climate zone is a humid subtropical climate. It is the rainy season, in the end of July. The local weather conditions are hot and humid: 35° Celsius with a relative humidity of 92 %.
