Color Codes
Code White
This is the state of threat oblivion, also
known as being switched off. Being in code
white means that a person is unaware of an
environment, its inhabitants, and their rituals
of attack. All attackers look for potential
victims in this state.
Code Yellow
This state is one of threat awareness; it is also
known as being switched on. This state of
perception allows a 360-degree peripheral
awareness of such environmental danger spots as
secluded door ways, entries, and alleys, as well as
such psychological dangers as adrenal dump and
attacker rituals . Code yellow is the state of mind
everyone adopts when crossing a busy road. It is
not a state of paranoia. but, rather, of observation.
Code Orange
This is the state of threat evaluation. It
represents rising threat, allowing evaluation if
circumstances deteriorate. For instance, as you
walk, you may notice a couple of men across the
road from you; if they begin to cross in your
direction and you feel there is a possible threat,
code orange will allow you to assess and evaluate
the situation.
Code Red
This is the condition of threat avoidance; it is
also referred to as fight or flight. Red is the final
stage. You have evaluated the situation, and if
there is a threat, you prepare to fight or run.
Never stand and fight if there is a possibility of
fleeing. If no threat is present, drop back to code
orange or yellow.
