       Proposal To senate For New Terrorist Threat Levels
       By: Marks Baptist States Date: February 18, 2013, 9:14 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The following Threat Conditions each represent an increasing
       risk of terrorist attacks. Beneath each Threat Condition are
       some suggested Protective Measures, recognizing that the heads
       of Federal departments and agencies are responsible for
       developing and implementing appropriate agency-specific
       Protective Measures
       PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THESE CAN BE MOTIFIED
       Low Condition (Green). This condition is declared when there is
       a low risk of terrorist attacks. Federal departments and
       agencies should consider the following general measures in
       addition to the agency-specific Protective Measures they develop
       and implement:
       Refining and exercising, as appropriate, preplanned Protective
       Measures;
       Ensuring personnel receive proper training on the Homeland
       Security Advisory System and specific preplanned department or
       agency Protective Measures; and
       Institutionalizing a process to assure that all facilities and
       regulated sectors are regularly assessed for vulnerabilities to
       terrorist attacks, and all reasonable measures are taken to
       mitigate these vulnerabilities.
       Guarded Condition (Blue). This condition is declared when there
       is a general risk of terrorist attacks. In addition to the
       Protective Measures taken in the previous Threat Condition,
       Federal departments and agencies should consider the following
       general measures in addition to the agency-specific Protective
       Measures that they will develop and implement:
       Checking communications with designated emergency response or
       command locations;
       Reviewing and updating emergency response procedures; and
       Providing the public with any information that would strengthen
       its ability to act appropriately.
       Elevated Condition (Yellow). An Elevated Condition is declared
       when there is a significant risk of terrorist attacks. In
       addition to the Protective Measures taken in the previous Threat
       Conditions, Federal departments and agencies should consider the
       following general measures in addition to the Protective
       Measures that they will develop and implement:
       Increasing surveillance of critical locations;
       Coordinating emergency plans as appropriate with nearby
       jurisdictions;
       Assessing whether the precise characteristics of the threat
       require the further refinement of preplanned Protective
       Measures; and
       Implementing, as appropriate, contingency and emergency response
       plans.
       High Condition (Orange). A High Condition is declared when there
       is a high risk of terrorist attacks. In addition to the
       Protective Measures taken in the previous Threat Conditions,
       Federal departments and agencies should consider the following
       general measures in addition to the agency-specific Protective
       Measures that they will develop and implement:
       Coordinating necessary security efforts with Federal, State, and
       local law enforcement agencies or any National Guard or other
       appropriate armed forces organizations;
       Taking additional precautions at public events and possibly
       considering alternative venues or even cancellation;
       Preparing to execute contingency procedures, such as moving to
       an alternate site or dispersing their workforce; and
       Restricting threatened facility access to essential personnel
       only.
       Severe Condition (Red). A Severe Condition reflects a severe
       risk of terrorist attacks. Under most circumstances, the
       Protective Measures for a Severe Condition are not intended to
       be sustained for substantial periods of time. In addition to the
       Protective Measures in the previous Threat Conditions, Federal
       departments and agencies also should consider the following
       general measures in addition to the agency-specific Protective
       Measures that they will develop and implement:
       Increasing or redirecting personnel to address critical
       emergency needs;
       Assigning emergency response personnel and pre-positioning and
       mobilizing specially trained teams or resources;
       Monitoring, redirecting, or constraining transportation systems;
       and
       Closing public and government facilities.
