Situational Awareness
Situational awareness is the crucial skill of being aware of your environment and understanding potential threats before they become imminent dangers. It's about more than just being alert; it's about recognizing the context of your surroundings, interpreting social cues, and predicting possible outcomes to stay ahead of situations.
Developing strong situational awareness involves:
• Constant Observation: Regularly scanning and assessing your environment for any changes or anomalies.
• Understanding Baselines: Knowing what is normal in your surroundings so you can detect when something is out of place.
• Predictive Analysis: Anticipating potential problems based on the context and acting preemptively when possible.
