BC and Homeland Security Threat Levels

The Office of Homeland Security advisory system uses color codes to communicate the risk of a potential terrorist threat nationwide. Updated information is always available on BC Info or this site.

Advisories are generally nationwide and not targeted to a particular geographic location, though an alert may be issued for a particular city, state or region.

Boston College will monitor the advisory status and adjust safety precautions accordingly.

Code Orange
