Explanation:
Location Specific Iso-Risk (LSIR) contours
=
contours lines linking points that have the same "Location Specific Risk"


N.B. the "iso-" is a prefix used to specify that these contours/isolines are "iso-risk" lines i.e. connecting points where there is the same risk [of whatever occurring]. as in:

contours line

A contour line (also isoline, isopleth, or isarithm) of a function of two variables is a curve along which the function has a constant value, so that the curve joins points of equal value. It is a plane section of the three-dimensional graph of the function f(x, y) parallel to the x, y plane. In cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. A contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness or gentleness of slopes. The contour interval of a contour map is the difference in elevation between successive contour lines.

More generally, a contour line for a function of two variables is a curve connecting points where the function has the same particular value.

Types
Contour lines are often given *** specific names beginning "iso-" *** (Ancient Greek: ἴσος isos "equal") according to the nature of the variable being mapped, although in many usages the phrase "contour line" is most commonly used. Specific names are most common in meteorology, where multiple maps with different variables may be viewed simultaneously. The prefix "iso-" can be replaced with "isallo-" to specify a contour line connecting points where a variable changes at the same rate during a given time period.

The words isoline and isarithm (ἀριθμός arithmos "number") are general terms covering all types of contour line.

Isoplèthe
Une isoplèthe (ou une isoligne, ou un isarithme) est une ligne joignant des points d'égale valeur sur une carte. Elle sépare des zones de faibles valeurs et des zones de valeurs plus élevées.

Cas particuliers[modifier le code]
(Tous les termes de la liste ci-dessous sont féminins1.)

Isallobare, ligne joignant les points d'égale baisse ou hausse de pression
Isobare, ligne joignant des points d'égale pression
Isobathe, ligne joignant des points d'égale profondeur
Isohaline, ligne joignant des points d'égale concentration en sel
Isohyète, ligne joignant des points d'égale précipitation
Isohypse, ligne joignant des points d'égale altitude
Isotherme, ligne joignant des points d'égale température

the variable / attribute for which "isolines" are drawn on this map is "Location Specific Risk" - as for what kind of risk it's about it must be explained somewhere else in the ST


most likely it's a map comparable to this one:
