Antiterrorist Alert Level: What it is and its consequences

The Antiterrorist Alert Level is a scale with different levels that imply the risk depending on the terrorist threat that is seen at all times. There are a total of 5 levels, ranging from the lowest (1 - low risk) to the highest (5 - very high risk). Each level measures the risk or probability that a terrorist attack will occur. In Spain it has been at level 4 for two years now, after various attacks in other countries.

The plan seeks to protect public or official centers and organizations. And also to facilities, networks, systems and physical and information technology equipment. Prevent any physical damage or violation of people's rights.
