SWORD: January 2019

SWORD RATING MEANINGS

Base Level. Be aware. No Warnings issued. This doesn't mean that everything is ok, just that either we dont know about it, or have not been able to post a change yet.
Social Unrest. Elevated Activity. Keep your eyes on the news and on local tensions etc... Trouble may be brewing, but it is not yet seen as a real Danger.
Active Threat. Caution Advised. Sources have indicated that there are, at least, pockets of aggression that may pose a danger. This is beyond the normal dangers of day-to-day living. This usually comes from police reports, scanner activity, a disasterous event or some other occurance. SWORD overseer and some admin members have connections in the LEO and / or intelligence community and often receive advanced warning of events.
PREPARE FOR BUG-OUT/BUG-IN. Whatever the reason is, a bug-out / bug-in situation is brewing. Information usually accompanies this rating along with areas known to be affected. BOL info and the needs of members may be discussed.
EMERGENCY SITUATION. A bug-out or bug-in advisory has been issued for affected areas. Communication with Overseer or other admin may be difficult or impossible and the secondary command staff may be activated. Alpha BOL may be activated depending on the situation.
SHTF SITUATION. Either a situation has escalated to a full blown dangerous event, or there has been a sudden disasterous development. Communication via this forum may be impossible, try to stay in contact with other SWORD members and share information. Hopefully you have paid attention to our Fallback/meet-up locations and have a plan for your family.

WTF - ALL HELL HAS BROKEN LOOSE. Try to stay together, work as a team and try to contact SWORD PRIME and/or fall back to a designated a safe fallback point. SWORD leadership will try to make contact and organize a response ASAP.
