Yemen is a fragile state with a challenging security context due to warring parties, lack of rule of law, and terrorist threats. SMC can assist with procurement and installation of armored doors and windows in a range of sizes and product specifications. The full range of offerings includes doors and windows that are designed to protect against theft, intrusion, bullets, and explosions.
Organizational due diligence requires a thorough crisis response plan with clearly defined roles, threat levels, and corresponding actions.
