So this is not related to the “credible” threat?

“So this is not related to the “credible” threat?”

FWIW:

“There are no current alerts.”

“There are no expired alerts.”

The National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) is a two-level terrorism threat advisory scale used by the United States Department of Homeland Security since April 26, 2011.[1][2] The system was announced on January 27, 2011 by Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano during a speech at George Washington University. Her official announcement followed reports of the NTAS that had surfaced the day before.[3] The NTAS is the replacement for the often-criticized, color-coded Homeland Security Advisory System introduced by the George W. Bush administration in 2002.[1] Napolitano said the color-coded system often presented “little practical information” to the public, and that the NTAS will provide alerts “specific to the threat” with “a specified end date.”[3]

When introducing the National Terrorism Advisory System, Napolitano said, “Today I announce the end of the old system of color-coded alerts. In its place, we will implement a new system that’s built on a clear and simple premise: When a threat develops that could impact you—the public—we will tell you. We will provide whatever information we can so you know how to protect yourselves, your families, and your communities.”[4] Her speech at George Washington University was timed to complement US President Barack Obama’s 2011 State of the Union Address, which occurred two days earlier.[5]

As of August 2013, the NTAS has never issued an alert.
