The US Department of Homeland Security will be getting rid of the confusing color coded system that no one was able to understand. Since 2002, the department has used the 5 color system (blue, green, yellow, orange, red) to alert citizens to potential terrorist and security threats. The problem is no one really understood the color scheme or paid attention to it. Also, since its inception Homeland Security has never lowered it past the yellow (Elevated) level, essentially making the blue and green useless.
No word yet on what the replacement will actually be, but the AP is reporting the new system will be more descriptive. [Gizmodo]
