In transition zones, what does the color orange indicate?

• A. Unaware of surroundings
• B. Yellow relaxed awareness
• C. Specific alert to a possible danger
• D. Panic mode

Answer: (C)

In transition zones, orange means you’ve detected something that could become a threat and you’re actively focusing on it, gathering information and preparing a response if it escalates. It’s a step up from relaxed awareness, but not yet immediate action—you’re assessing the situation and ready to act if needed. This keeps you calm and deliberate while staying ready to increase your level of readiness if the threat grows. The other states don’t fit because White is complete unawareness, Yellow is general vigilance, Red is imminent danger requiring action, and Black is panic.
