homeland security

The homeland security advisory system is a color coded system on a 5 level monitor. Its specifically designed to keep people aware and on alert about a terrorism probability. This monitoring system has many divided....some seeing it as a positive way to keep us informed while others view it as an unnecisarry worry wart. It conists of different color codes starting from green( low) to red (high) which can easily be communicated through officials. Officials have communicated to the public to store up to 3 days of food, having emergancy kits, ect ect. This awareness caused confusion and chaos instead of the intended comfort of knowledge. This panic across the nation caused congress to look into homeland security practices...even scolded the institution...but within days homeland security had started another panic all over agian.
