Defenders also work in rural areas either in a village or in a secluded and remote area. They might not have much choice as to their office location. Yet they need to protect their space from unwanted visitors and objects.

Village: if it is comparable to a micro urban area most of the above considera- tions may be taken and completed with the following ones.

Remote and secluded location: make sure that the surrounding community, your family and friends can contribute to your alarm system. Try and have them check regularly on you and your office (whether it is your home). You might consider keeping a dog which can be trained to barking at visitors. Make sure it doesn’t attack people and that it cannot easily be approached and poisoned. Get to the area well and avoid being out at dark. You might consider establishing communication relays through trusted people to have access to as quick a supportive reaction as possible in case you need it.
