Homeland Advisory System Advisory System - Severe Advisory System - High Advisory System - Elevated Advisory System - Guarded Advisory System - Low What Is The Advisory System?

The Homeland Security Advisory System provides a comprehensive and effective means to distribute information regarding the risk of terrorist acts to Federal, State, and local authorities and to the American people. It provides warnings in the form of a set of graduated "Threat Conditions" that would increase as the risk of the threat increases. At each Threat Condition, public safety agencies implement a corresponding set of "Protective Measures" to further reduce vulnerability or increase response capability during a period of heightened alert.

Click on each threat condition listed on the chart to see what it means to you.
