	Homeland Security Advisory System Recommendations The White House issued Homeland Security Directive-3, in March 2002, which established five threat conditions for possible terrorist attack: Green = Low; Blue = Guarded; Yellow = Elevated; Orange = High; and Red = Severe. General explanations were given for preparedness activities for each level, but these were intended mainly for government agencies.
