Government advisories are the highest-weighted signal (50%) because they already absorb granular crime, terrorism, kidnapping and political-stability intelligence. A Level 2 (Increased Caution) advisory means there are localised risks — usually petty crime, occasional protests, or health concerns — but most travellers visit without incident.

Level 1

Normal precautions

Level 2

Increased caution

Level 3

Reconsider travel

Level 4

Do not travel

Two layers feed this score: WHO Disease Outbreak News (acute risk — ebola, mpox, cholera, marburg, etc.) and Global Health Observatory indicators (PM2.5 air quality, life expectancy) for chronic context. Drivers here: elevated PM2.5 (32.4 µg/m³); life expectancy 67.3 yrs.
