Discuss the changes to the threat advisory program that were enacted in 2011, and describe the main difference in the new program

What will be an ideal response?


In April 2011, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that the five-tiered color- coded security advisory system that had been used since 2002 would be replaced by a two-level threat advisory:
• Elevated threat: warns of a credible terrorist threat against the United States
• Imminent threat: warns of a credible, specific, and impending terrorist threat against
the United States

According to the National Terrorism Advisory System Public Guide (2011), the basic difference between the two levels is that "elevated" applies when "we have no specific information about the timing or location" of a credible threat. "Imminent" applies when "we believe the threat is impending or very soon.".
