Where can you find more information in the event of a heightened threat? What measures has the NCTb taken to help you prevent terrorism? 

Counterterrorism Alert System

The Counterterrorism Alert System is an alert system for the government and economic sectors. It warns the operational services and economic sectors in the event of a heightened threat. This enables prior measures to be taken quickly in order to minimise the risk of terrorist attacks in the Netherlands and to limit the potential impact of terrorist acts.
