Severe Condition (Red) - most serious
 A Severe Condition reflects a severe risk of terrorist attacks. A terrorist attack has occurred or there is credible evidence of an imminent attack.
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 lower threat conditions,
federal and state departments and agencies are likely to take
actions:
-
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.
