Specialised services assess threats on a schedule dependant on national and international circumstances. Those services propose changes to the alert level to the [[President of the French Republic|President of the Republic]] and to the [[Prime Minister of France|Prime Minister]], who have the authority to trigger "Plan Vigipirate" and decide on an appropriate alert level. The relevant monitoring, prevention and protection measures are then implemented by the appropriate authorities: national and local government agencies, the [[SNCF]], [[RATP]], affected airports, etc.
