Red means Severe risk of terrorist attacks
and may require the pre-positioning
of especially trained teams, closing public and government facilities
and monitoring transportation systems. Orange signifies a High risk of attack, meaning the government should coordinate necessary security efforts with armed forces or law enforcement agencies and take additional precautions at public events. Yellow is an Elevated condition, meaning there is a significant risk of attack. Increased surveillance of critical locations and implementing some emergency response plans are called for. Blue is a Guarded risk, and agencies are asked to review and update emergency response procedures. Green is a Low risk of terrorist attack. |
Since just about a month or so after the attacks,it seems that our lives have changed greatly. People have been more concerned about whether the middle-eastern or even hispanic looking person next door is a terrorist or just an innocent "nobody" just going about their everyday lives...or trying to,at least.I know that I have. Well,hopefully,this new system will make it much easier for the common Jane and Joe Q. Citizen to keep themselves informed.
And this system isn't the only thing that the US govt. has been doing to help keep our country safe. Since a little over an hour (I guess) since the attacks,we've had USAF fighters flying on patrols over some of the country's largest population centers as well as US Coast Guard personnel performing port defense duties.
