Department of Homelaned
Security
The Color-coded Threat Level System is
used to communicate with public safety
officials and the public at-large through a
threat-based, color-coded system so that
protective measures can be implemented to
reduce the likelihood or impact of an
attack. Raising the threat condition has
economic, physical, and psychological
effects on the nation; so, the Homeland
Security Advisory System can place specific
geographic regions or industry sectors on a
higher alert status than other regions or
industries, based on specific threat
information."

"Devastating acts, such as the terrorist
attacks on the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon, have left many concerned about the
possibility of future incidents in the
United States and their potential impact.
They have raised uncertainty about what
might happen next, increasing stress levels.
Nevertheless, there are things you can do to
prepare for the unexpected and reduce the
stress that you may feel now and later
should another emergency arise. Taking
preparatory action can reassure you and your
children that you can exert a measure of
control even in the face of such events."

The likelihood that you and your
family will survive a house fire depends as
much on having a working smoke detector and
an exit strategy, as on a well-trained fire
department. The same is true for surviving a
natural disaster, terrorist attack or other
emergency. We must all have the tools and
plans in place to make it on our own, at
least for a period of time, no matter where
we are when disaster strikes.
