The assessment of the situation may indicate the initiation of Prevention, Mitigation, Response, or Recovery activities, such as community-wide risk reduction projects, that require Protection mission support. Emerging issues may also require a change from Protection steady-state to enhanced steady-state activities.

Enhanced Protection mission activities include:

• Issuing of alerts/warnings
• Greater protective presence, enhanced posture
• Enhanced operational coordination among mission partners
• Sustained efforts to address emergent Protection concerns
