MARSEC
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MARSEC represents the three-tiered United States Coast Guard Maritime Security system created to be compatible with, and respond in a unison mode to the Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS). It’s objective is to provide an assessment of possible terrorist activity within the maritime sectors of transportation, including the threats to nautical facilities and vessels falling within the United States jurisdiction that could be targets of attack.
[edit] Alert levels
There are three levels to this system:
- Level 1 – Corresponding with the HSAS levels Green, Blue, or Yellow.
- Level 2 – Corresponding along with the heightened HSAS risk coded Orange.
- Level 3 – Corresponding with the probable and imminent HSAS risk level coded Red.
