High-risk areas

High-risk areas are locations where the likelihood of experiencing a particular problem, such as crime, natural disasters, or health hazards, is significantly greater than average. These zones often require increased caution, specific safety measures, or specialized strategies to manage or reduce potential harm. Identifying high-risk areas helps individuals, organizations, and authorities prepare better and allocate resources effectively to minimize negative impacts. For example, a neighborhood prone to flooding during storms or a region with higher crime rates would be considered high-risk areas.
