Color Code of Awareness

The Color Code of Awareness refers to your normal state of mind while you’re out in public, how quickly you are on your feet, and how willing you are to take-action when a threat arises

1. Condition White refers to the zombies out on the street who are completely oblivious of their surroundings. They normally have headphones in, their eyes glued to their smartphone screens, and are the types who walk right into fountains or strangers. They are the first targets for predators. 

2. Condition Yellow are those people who are relaxed, but comfortably aware that threats could arise at any time. When you are in condition yellow, you walk down the street with your head up, your ears open, and you’re looking around. Your gaze is softened. Your peripherals widened. 

3. Condition Orange is when you are made aware of a potential threat. It doesn’t mean that there is a threat, just that there could be. You are wide awake and ready. The real difference between orange and yellow is that your focus is on one specific thing — such as a sketchy man walking straight towards you with his hand in his coat. 

4. Condition Red is when you are ready to act. The knife is out. The gun is pointed at your wife’s face. Your adrenaline is flooding your brain. What you do in the twenty seconds to follow could set the course for living out the rest of your life — or having it end immediately.
