In March 2002, Homeland Security Chief Tom Ridge unveiled a new
color-coded threat advisory system for the United States. The idea
was to create a way to convey the risk of terrorist attacks to
federal, state,
local authorities and the American people. The coded warning system
has five levels that is associated with a suggested protective
measure and will trigger specific actions by federal agencies and
local law
enforcement. Click on each "code" below to see details of the
protective measures characterized by the Homeland Security Advisory
System.
