The United States of America belongs to one of the most powerful and largest countries in the world today. Every person from different countries dreamt of visiting or migrating to the United States of America because of its vast natural resources, state-of-the-art technology, grandeur of its sceneries and cultures and the famous histories it was known for. Though powerful it may seem, it still cannot escape the inevitable like the terrorists attacks on The World Trade Center in New York City and The Pentagon in Washington D.C. last September 11, 2001. From thereon, the government of the United States of America implemented drastic measures to combat terrorism attacks and focus on the ways on how to prevent such acts.
The government of the United States of Americas national threat level is elevated or yellow excluding domestic and international flights. For all domestic and international flights, the U.S. threat level is high or orange (Homeland Security, 2010). In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security implemented a system called The Homeland Security Advisory System designed to guide the protective measures when specific information to a particular sector or geographic region is received. It combines threat information with vulnerability assessments and provides communications to public safety including officials and the public (Homeland Security, 2010). In this system, the elevated or yellow risk of terrorist attack provides significant increased surveillance of critical locations.
Coordinate emergency plans with nearby jurisdictions, assess further refinement of protective measures and implement contingency and emergency plans as appropriate. The high or orange risk of terrorist attack means high coordinate necessary security efforts with armed forces or law enforcement agencies. Take additional precautions at public events, prepare to work at an alternate site or with a dispersed work force and restrict access to essential personnel only (Homeland Security, 2010). The terrorists commonly used bombs in their terrorism attacks. In the historical September 11 attack, the U.S. officials agree that bombs or hijacked jets used as bombs are the most likely weapons to be used against America (USA TODAY, 2008).
The government of the United States of America should be constantly on guard against suspicious persons and activities that would impose danger to the nation. The implemented measures should be followed strictly especially the centralized national threat warning system for terrorist attack should be taken seriously and with dedication so as to warn the public on the possible onset of an attack. As a citizen, one should always maintain vigilance and awareness of what is happening not only in ones hometown but in the United States of America as well. These are the useful ways on how to guard ones life in the onset of terrorism attacks.
