My Comment: My feelings towards this color coded system are neutral. I personally do not think the average person cares about this system, and for the professionals (first responders) who have now grown accustomed to it .... I am not sure that they would be enthusiastic for an overhaul.
But government is all about change .... so expect big changes and money spent to overhaul this system.
