At which FPCON level is the threat of terrorist activity considered increased or more predictable?

FPCON Bravo indicates a situation where there is an increased and more predictable threat of terrorist activity. During this level, measures are implemented to mitigate risks and enhance security protocols in anticipation of possible attacks.

This elevation in security readiness reflects an acknowledgment that potential threats are no longer merely speculative but realistic and imminent. Specific measures may include heightened surveillance, increased patrols, and awareness initiatives among personnel. It is critical to understand that at FPCON Bravo, the focus is on proactive defense in preparation for a potential incident.

In comparison, FPCON Alpha indicates a general threat of terrorist activity, but it lacks the specificity and immediacy associated with Bravo. FPCON Charlie denotes next-level concern with a more immediate threat that is likely to happen soon, while FPCON Delta reflects a situation in which a terrorist attack has occurred or is expected imminently. Thus, while FPCON Bravo prepares for anticipated threats, Alpha provides less urgency, and Charlie and Delta indicate greater levels of active threat response.
