The British Security Service (MI5) now have an electronic mailing system to offer British citizens living in the United Kingdom updates on the current national threat level.

“The current national Threat Level system was introduced in July 2006. If you subscribe to this e-mail list, you will be alerted if the threat level changes.

Our prime concern is to ensure public safety. Please note that there will therefore be occasions when, for operational reasons, a delay is necessary between the threat level being changed and the public being informed.”

Simply signup from the website to receive updates on the “What’s New” section to keep you informed of what MI5 is doing to protect the United Kingdom and updates to the website, and also changes in threat level. Currently the UK is at “severe” after the suspected plane bombings earlier in Autumn 2006. The threat level has stayed the same ever since whilst the perpertrators were being investigated for plotting to detonate liquid explosives over the Atlantic between the UK and the US.

Anyone in the UK who is concerned regarding national security should use this service to get the latest updates.
