National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS)

The National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) is a U.S. government warning system that communicates current threats of terrorism to the public, government agencies, and organizations. It provides timely alerts about specific threats or emerging concerns related to terrorism, using categorized alerts like "Elevated," "Imminent," or "Reduced" threat levels. These alerts help individuals and groups stay informed, enhance preparedness, and support security measures without causing unnecessary alarm. The NTAS aims to promote awareness and safety by offering clear, accurate, and actionable information about potential or ongoing terrorism threats.
