<p>For the dam story you conclude that<strong> traveling to the area to ask questions poses security considerations</strong>. These can be mitigated by taking security precautions and keeping a low profile while in the villages.</p>
<section style="border: 2px; border-style: solid; border-color: #66cc99; padding: 1em;">
<p><strong>Recommendation</strong></p>
<p><img src="/assets/courseware/v1/1ae7661920aa8f6cc3374c1b458f5bae/asset-v1:Totem+TP_FDR_EN+001+type@asset+block/actor-malevolent-sad.png" type="saveimage" target="[object Object]" width="15%" hspace="20" align="right" />Once risks have been identified, it is time to create an <strong>action plan</strong> that includes where you will travel, for how long, where you will stay, and who you will talk to. Share this plan with a trusted contact and agree on check-in times. Consider what the friend should do if you do not check in on time.</p>
<p><strong>Go over possible scenarios</strong> which require you to stay longer, such as lack of participation or availability of sources, and discuss how you will communicate this to your trusted contact.</p>

<p>Now that your pre-research and risk assessment are finished, it is time to go into the field! Follow along to<strong> Module 2 of the course.</strong></p>
