High Condition (Orange) - serious
 A High Condition reflects a high risk of terrorist attacks. A credible threat of attack exists but a specific target is not identified. In addition to the protective measures taken in the lower threat conditions, federal and state departments and agencies are likely to take the following actions, in addition to agency-specific protective measures:
- 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.
