Which color mindset corresponds to a state of nonspecific alert to everything around you?

• A. Yellow
• B. Orange
• C. White
• D. Blue

Answer: (A)

Yellow mindset means you're in a general, nonspecific alert to what's around you. You stay aware of the whole environment—people, sounds, exits—and continuously scan and assess without honing in on a single potential threat. This level keeps you ready to act if something unusual pops up, at which point you’d shift to a higher, more targeted alert. By contrast, White is a relaxed or unaware state, and Orange is a focused alert on a specific threat cue. Blue isn’t part of the standard patrol color code for this kind of situational awareness.
