About the Homeland Security Advisory System
The Homeland Security Advisory System is designed to target our protective
measures when specific information to a specific sector or geographic region is
received. It combines threat information with vulnerability assessments and
provides communications to public safety officials and the public.
- Homeland Security Threat Advisories contain
actionable information about an incident involving, or a threat targeting,
critical national networks or infrastructures or key assets. They could,
for example, relay newly developed procedures that, when implemented, would
significantly improve security or protection. They could also suggest a
change in readiness posture, protective actions, or response. This category
includes products formerly named alerts, advisories, and sector
notifications. Advisories are targeted to Federal, state, and local
governments, private sector organizations, and international partners.
- Homeland Security Information Bulletins
communicate information of interest to the nation’s critical infrastructures
that do not meet the timeliness, specificity, or significance thresholds of
warning messages. Such information may include statistical reports,
periodic summaries, incident response or reporting guidelines, common
vulnerabilities and patches, and configuration standards or tools. It also
may include preliminary requests for information. Bulletins are targeted to
Federal, state, and local governments, private sector organizations, and
international partners.
- Color-coded Threat Level System is used to
communicate with public safety officials and the public at-large through a
threat-based, color-coded system so that protective measures can be
implemented to reduce the likelihood or impact of an attack. Raising the
threat condition has economic, physical, and psychological effects on the
nation; so, the Homeland Security Advisory System can place specific
geographic regions or industry sectors on a higher alert status than other
regions or industries, based on specific threat information.
