THE WHAT & THE WHY: RED ALERT!

If someone says “code red”, most people think that there is some type of emergency and immediate action is required. Even though it is part of the language and everyone seems to recognize the terminology, there is more to it than most people know.

Thanks for sharing a good article Anni,
Great short explanatorily read on conditional/situational awareness.
Very good intent info to pass onto others who are not aware of meanings.
Never remember seeing blue charted before though.

Colors can take on quick meanings faster than words alone.
Many people naturally have color chart imbedded in their minds....

For example:
White/yellow - usually considered fairly calm, open, peaceful. - Think white dove of peace?
Black - can cause depression, seriousness, morbidity, inclusion, tactfulness. - Think black reaper of death?
Note:
Unintentionally - "Peace keepers" dressed in black can send mixed messages to observers like the "*Redcoats" did?
*Red was used by Brits so blood didn't show so easily on uniforms. But, thinking it may have back fired and ticked off a few colonists instead, why? Cool factor?

No mention of condition Brown. That’s probably somewhere between Orange and Red.

The article led me to API. I would love to take some of those classes. I don't think the wife would be down with me dropping 2k on one though. :-(

And here I always thought condition brown was when you soiled yourself.

I figured it was right around condition yellow...

Good article. I find myself in yellow all the time and occasionally in orange.
Luckily I’ve never been in the red zone however I’m confident in my abilities to react appropriately if need be.
