The danger is considered to be Minimal. While it remains in this stage, bulletins will be issued at a frequency of at least every 24 hours. Likewise, the population is expected to: Stay informed.
2. Green Alert - Prevention

The danger is considered to be Low. While it remains at this stage, bulletins will be issued at a frequency of at least every 12 hours.

4. Orange Alert - Alarm
It is established when a tropical cyclone has approached a distance such that the imminent impact of the 34 knot wind line in an affected area is foreseen in a time between 36 and 6 hours, depending on its intensity. The danger is considered to be High. While it remains in this stage, bulletins will be issued with a frequency of at least every 3 hours. Likewise, the population is expected to:
