FAQs

What administrative logic connects temples, livestock, and vulnerable persons in one list?

They represent high-sensitivity domains—social legitimacy (religious/civic institutions), economic base (livestock), and protected classes—where neglect quickly triggers disorder and reputational loss.

What is the decision rule for ordering cases?

Default sequential order, overridden by triage: handle by gravity and urgency when delay would cause disproportionate harm.
