Hometown Security, 7 years later

News:

Middletown has 5 levels of risk of terrorist attacks.
Today, September 11, 2008, we are at a yellow level.
  • RED Severe risk of terrorist attacks.
  • ORANGE High risk of terrorist attacks.
  • YELLOW Elevated condition. Significant risk of terrorist attacks.
  • BLUE Guarded condition. General risk of terrorist attack.
  • GREEN Low risk of terrorist attacks.
Questions:
  • WHY?
  • What is the cost to the city of increased surveillance, and other measures required by the yellow status?
  • What conditions need to be met for the terrorist attack risk level to be changed up or down?
  • Who makes that decision?
  • Can citizens suggest other entities whose threat to the city can also be color coded?
