What are terrorism threat levels?
Terrorism threat levels indicate the likelihood of a terrorist attack in the UK. There are two published threat levels.

There are 5 categories at which the threat levels could be set:

LOW - an attack is highly unlikely
MODERATE - an attack is possible, but not likely
SUBSTANTIAL - an attack is likely
SEVERE - an attack is highly likely
CRITICAL - an attack is highly likely in the near future

Members of the public should always remain alert to the danger of terrorism and report any suspicious activity to the police on 999 or the anti-terrorist hotline: 0800 789 321. If your information does not relate to an imminent threat, you can also contact MI5.
