Why it matters

What Robbery would mean for you

Three numbers decide how important Robbery is to your preparedness planning. Impact and Likelihood are general baselines. Vulnerability depends on how prepared you are for this threat.

ImpactModerate6/9
NegligibleCatastrophic

A robbery puts you face-to-face with someone willing to use force; compliance usually ends it, but the real risk of violence makes the Impact higher than simple theft.

LikelihoodUnlikely3/9
RareFrequent

Uncommon for any individual in a given year, rising with location, cash-handling, and late hours - so it sits low-to-mid on the scale.

VulnerabilityNot rated
NegligibleCatastrophic

This number is yours. It measures how hard Robbery would actually hit your household given what you already have in place. Rate it in Threat Planning — then all three multiply into your personal threat rating.
