Elevated Condition (Yellow) - significant
 An Elevated Condition reflects a significant risk of terrorist attacks. A heightened sense of personal awareness is recommended. In addition to the protective measures taken in the lower threat conditions, federal and state departments and agencies are likely to implement the following protective measures:
- 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.
