Message from Bucks County Emergency Services
In response to recent U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) bulletin warning of a “heightened threat environment” in the United States. This heightened threat includes the potential for cyberattacks and physical acts of violence, as well as an increased likelihood of retaliatory violence by individuals inspired by the conflict. While there are currently no specific credible threats against the homeland, DHS is emphasizing that the public should remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity or threats to local law enforcement.
