For certain assignments, special attention should be paid to risks of living in the region or country to which employees are sent. Cultural challenges, family issues, and living conditions are usually given a high priority.
But it is wise to brief assignees on other factors in some assignment locations: special health needs that can be handled in host country, what to do if you get arrested, risk to children to and from school, presence of paramilitary & mercenaries, risk of kidnapping or abduction, political instability.
Consult the CIA and Department of State lists of regions/nations offering danger, and be very aware of locations of US embassy and consulates in the host country.
