    The Homeland Security Advisory System identifies a High Condition of Alert (Code Orange) as the following:

    A high risk of terrorist attacks. In the incidence of a High Condition of Alert, Federal departments and agencies are directed to 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.
