Aon/Albert G. Ruben has produced an amazing map (free registration required) to help producers and directors identify and manage the risks
associated with filming in foreign countries. (via an ip blawg)
Whether you are involved in entertainment or not, it is a great risk management tool containing information about risks in different countries in the following categories:
- political risk;
- crime and corruption;
- terrorism;
- kidnap and ransom;
- disease;
- medical care.
Aon also has a Political and Economic Risks Global Map.
