Low Condition (Green)
- normal
 A Low Condition reflects a low risk of terrorist attacks. Preparedness for any type of disaster should be part of your priorities. Federal and state departments and agencies will likely implement the following general measures in addition to agency-specific protective measures:
- Refining and exercising as appropriate preplanned Protective Measures;
- Ensuring personnel receive proper training on the Federal and Kansas Homeland Security Advisory System and specific preplanned department or agency protective measures; and
- Institutionalizing a process to assure that all facilities and regulated sectors are regularly assessed for vulnerabilities to terrorist attacks, and all reasonable measures are taken to mitigate these vulnerabilities.

| How
To Prepare |
|
|
Individuals
- Stay informed. Terrorist attacks and natural disasters can happen at any time, with little or no warning.
- Listen for Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages in your area, and listen to the National Weather Radio.
- Become familiar with your surroundings and report criminal or suspicious activities to local authorities.
- Learn and become familiar with emergency plans at work, school, and public places you regularly visit.
Families
- Develop a plan to be prepared in the event that you would need to evacuate or take shelter.
- Prepare your Family Disaster Supplies Kit, including supplies for sheltering-in-place (see what you should include in your kit here).
- Collect phone numbers and e-mail addresses in your emergency notification plan.
- Make emergency plans to take care of your pets - not all emergency shelters are prepared to allow pets.
- Review insurance documents to ensure adequate coverage of medical costs or personal property assets.
Communities
- Become active in your local Neighborhood Crime Watch program or create one if it does not already exist in your community.
- Learn what critical facilities are located in your community by participating in Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) meetings. Find a point of contact for your county.
- Look for volunteer opportunities in your community, choose an agency to volunteer with and receive initial training.
- Take a first aid or Community Emergency Response Team class.
