Client: Corporate Client
Date: November 2025
Location: Tanzania
An international risk construction firm retained NSSG to draft, implement and eventually activate a country
evacuation plan for the expatriate personnel deployed in Tanzania. The request was raised in sight to the local
elections and the forecasted protests and disruptions that could lead to serious security incidents.
The time frame to realize a comprehensive and actionable evacuation plan for the 700 expats was only one month
NSSG team conducted a comprehensive feasibility analysis, evaluating multiple operational solutions before
selecting the deployment of an expatriate Security Manager. This professional was tasked with on-site assessment
of prevailing conditions, verification of available assets, reconnaissance of viable evacuation routes, and initial
development of standardized evacuation protocols, accordingly to Client’s best practice.
NSSG promptly identified and mobilized a qualified Security Consultant, enabling rapid deployment to the client
site in Tanzania within days. Under continuous coordination with the NSSG Risk Management Practice, the
consultant immediately commenced critical activities: identifying suitable assets, conducting route
reconnaissance, and engaging local authorities and law enforcement to secure contingency support in the event of
evacuation activation.
Concurrently, NSSG’s Intelligence Practice maintained vigilant situational monitoring, tracking early indicators of
potential escalations in Tanzania against predefined evacuation triggers to ensure timely activation.
Within weeks, through seamless collaboration across NSSG’s Risk Management, Intelligence, operational practices
and Client’s stakeholders, a robust and actionable evacuation plan was delivered to the client. This plan
encompassed alternate evacuation routes, clearly delineated roles and responsibilities, a defined chain of
command and control, secure communication protocols, precise activation triggers, and tiered alert levels. Critical
assets were pre-positioned for immediate readiness.
Finally, coordination and control procedures—spanning the client site, NSSG headquarters, the Site Manager, and
security teams—were formalized and validated through a comprehensive table-top exercise, confirming
operational readiness.
