To paraphrase, the LFI (Lethal Force Institute) definitions are:

• White: Unprepared. Unaware. Not alert to symptoms of a deteriorating situation.
• Yellow: Relaxed alertness. Easy to maintain for extended periods; during all waking moments.
• Orange: Unspecified alert. May be uncertain of the nature of the threat. Changes occur in body-alarm reactions. Decision to survive. Awareness of cover, lanes of movement, people within visible distance and their actions.
• Red: Armed encounter. Actively facing attacker(s). Prepare to defend. May reach a “fight, flight, flee” mode, in terms of physiological response.
• Black: Lethal Force encounter. Only countervailing lethal force can stop an attack.
