The two latter – sudden illness and aggregated individual acts – are deemed not relevant because the risk they pose to the Piql Services are too implausible or irrelevant for its safety and security. The two former scenario classes – natural disasters and failure or malfunction – are more plausible and relevant. Below are the listed events included in these two classes:

Natural disasters: Meteorological events: • Extreme winds •

Failure/malfunction: Harmful emission: • Chemical • Biological • Radioactive Conventional accidents: • Explosions/fire •

Extreme temperatures

Different grades of precipitation

• •

Flood Geological events: •

Earthquake

Structural collapse Transport accident

Volcano eruption

• • •

•

Tsunami

Cosmological events •
