Safety
6/10
The compact tourist center is generally more manageable than high-crime regions, but theft, robbery, isolated roads, and limited emergency capacity still require routine precautions.
Natural disaster resilience
5/10
Flores has less direct volcanic exposure than the highlands, but intense rain, flooding, tropical storms, heat, and regional transport disruption remain meaningful hazards.
