An active threat with a weapon — the hospital's most serious security code.
Understanding the Code Silver Alert
- A **Code Silver** is the specific alert used by hospitals to signal an active shooter or an individual wielding a weapon.
- Unlike other alerts, this code warns staff that there is an immediate threat of violence within the building.
- Security teams and local police are dispatched to the scene the moment this alert is broadcast.
