Due to recent International events and activity, the Los Alamitos Police Department would like to make you aware of two important sources of information that can assist you while making decisions that impact your safety.
The National Terrorism Advisory System, or NTAS (which replaces the color-coded Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS)), more effectively communicates information about terrorist threats by providing timely, detailed information to the public, government agencies, first responders, airports and other transportation hubs, and the private sector.
NTAS recognizes that Americans all share responsibility for the nation's security, and should always be aware of the heightened risk of terrorist attack in the United States and what they should do. You can sign up to receive these alerts via email, Facebook, or Twitter directly from the US Department of Homeland Security at the link below.

Before embarking on International travel, you can also visit the US Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs and check for the latest travel advisories. You can view these at the link below.
Be Safe. Be Prepared.
