The Homeland Security Advisory System has developed a color status system to
disseminate information regarding the risk of terrorist acts
to federal, state, and local authorities, as well as the
American people.
GREEN = LOW Low risk of terrorist attacks.
BLUE = GUARDED General risk of terrorist attacks.
YELLOW = ELEVATED Significant risk of terrorist attacks.
ORANGE = HIGH High Significant risk of terrorist attacks.
RED = SEVERE Severe risk of terrorist attacks.
For individuals interested in emergency preparedness actions they may take in response to an increased
threat level of terrorist attack, there are many government publications and
websites available.
