Jul 13, 2004 -- Threat level chart benefits us how?

What color security threat are we today on the Department of Homeland Security's chart? More importantly, what do the colors mean? There are numerous levels, including severe, high, elevated, guarded and low. Today the threat is elevated, and the color is yellow. But, still, it’s hard to know what that means. There are undefined lines of combat and it’s very hard to prepare. We’re behind the curve when it comes to coordination between various levels of government and communication with the public on what to do when something happens. Government officials say bad things are going to happen, but what are we supposed to do with that. We feel a sense of anxiety when it comes to this topic because it is unknown and unfamiliar. But if something happens today, we are in better shape to deal with it. We know that it will happen and we know that we will adapt and move on. So, Clark has some issues with the threat level chart. He doesn’t know what benefit the general public gets from it, or how it serves state and local law enforcements. Maybe we need to come up with a more actionable system to prepare for terrorist attacks.
