Operational Context South Korea experiences recurring cold-wave events during January, often driven by continental cold surges affecting the peninsula for several consecutive days. These events historically strain urban mobility, utilities, and workforce availability, particularly in the Seoul metropolitan area and northeastern provinces. Repeated Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) advisories this month indicate heightened vulnerability, making early […]

Operational Context London’s transport network periodically undergoes planned or unplanned multi-line closures, particularly over weekends, to accommodate engineering works and system upgrades. While such closures are operationally controlled, they create significant secondary effects due to London’s reliance on Underground and TfL rail for workforce mobility, tourism, and last-mile logistics. Historical patterns show that even time-bound […]

Operational Context Bengaluru has a well-documented history of transport union protests centred on wage revisions, arrears, and service conditions of BMTC and KSRTC employees. Such events are typically concentrated around civic and transport nodes and are characterised by non-violent assemblies, road blockades, and selective service stoppages. Given the city’s dependence on public bus networks for […]

Operational Context The United Kingdom is entering a short but concentrated period of adverse winter weather beginning late on 29 January, driven by Atlantic rainfall bands interacting with colder air masses. Similar January weather patterns have historically caused localized flooding, icy road conditions, and short-term transport disruption, particularly in low-lying urban and coastal areas. Organisations […]

Operational Context Jakarta’s transport network remains highly exposed to seasonal monsoon flooding, particularly across low-lying arterial corridors and river-adjacent districts. Transjakarta and Mikrotrans form critical commuter lifelines for Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek), supporting workforce mobility, retail access, and first-responder movement. Flood-induced route diversions during peak weekday operations amplify systemic risk for businesses reliant on just-in-time staffing, […]

Operational Context Nigeria’s aviation sector has a history of high-impact labour actions, particularly where concessioning, workforce conditions, or regulatory oversight are contested. Previous strikes in the transport and energy sectors demonstrate a pattern of rapid mobilisation, immediate service withdrawal, and short but disruptive operational stoppages. Airports function as critical national infrastructure, and even brief labour […]

Operational Context South Korea experiences recurrent Arctic-origin cold surges during January and February, typically lasting between 24 and 72 hours. These events place immediate strain on transportation systems, district heating networks, and older water infrastructure, while elevating health risks for vulnerable populations and outdoor workers. Historical patterns show that impacts are highly localized but operationally […]

Operational Context Azad Maidan in south Mumbai is a designated protest zone with a long history of labour demonstrations, hunger strikes, and sit-ins involving public-sector employees. Events at this location are typically regulated by Mumbai Police with standard crowd management, traffic diversions, and on-site medical preparedness. While protests here are generally peaceful, their proximity to […]

Operational Context Winter wind and rainstorms are a recurrent operational risk for the United Kingdom, particularly for Scotland, Northern Ireland and western coastal regions where exposure to Atlantic systems is highest. Fast-moving deep lows such as Storm Chandra typically generate concentrated disruption over a one-to-three-day window, with the most significant impacts occurring during peak wind […]

Operational Context Commonwealth Avenue is one of Metro Manila’s primary east–west arterial corridors, carrying high daily volumes of private vehicles, buses, jeepneys and UV Express services linking Fairview, Philcoa, Quezon Avenue and onward connections to EDSA. Temporary closures along this corridor are frequent and typically associated with MMDA-led maintenance, reblocking or incident response. Historical patterns […]
