A yellow alert could either be activated manually by an environmentally hazardous situation, or automatically upon detection of a Proximity alert or Perimeter alert, or upon detection of certain system malfunctions. If the situation escalated, the commanding officer or the main computer would order a red alert.
A yellow alert could either be activated manually by an environmentally hazardous situation, or automatically upon detection of a Proximity alert or Perimeter alert, or upon detection of certain system malfunctions. If the situation escalated, the commanding officer or the main computer would order a red alert.
*'''Perimeter alert''':
**A perimeter alert was an alert used by Starfleet, to warn about an approaching, unidentified starship.
*'''Proximity alert''':
**A proximity alert was an alert signal aboard a starship that indicated when another vessel was approaching.
*'''Standby alert''':
**A standby alert was a type of alert signal used to prepare a starship against possible threats.
*'''Decompression Alert''':
**Decompression Alert is usually declared when the computer of a starship, using internal sensors, detects decompressions on a deck of a starship. This alarm usually sounds when there is a hull breach. The computer usually will alert the bridge of decompression and tell them the deck; it is then the bridge crew's responsibility to evacuate those decks.

*'''Battle Stations''':
**Battle stations was a general alarm used in naval operations (such as those that influenced the policies of Starfleet) when a starship was going into battle. On Federation starships, a battle stations alarm was usually made in addition to a red alert.
*'''Evacuation Alert''':
**An evacuation alert, or evacuation alarm, was used to signal a mandatory evacuation of a certain deck, ship, planet, or starbase. It was normally used during a catastrophic event such as a hull breach or a loss of antimatter containment. This was a higher alert state than battle stations or red alert.
*'''Ultimate code''':
**The ultimate code or ultimate override was a distress call signal in use in the United Federation of Planets that overrode all other communications and missions of a Starfleet starship and required them to respond.
**The code was so highly classified that starship commanding officers were forbidden to submit an ultimate code to the computer for decoding. Instead, commanders had to memorise a key which allowed them to decode the message into a coherent form. Nor could the starship commander keep a computer record of the code.
**The ultimate code was only to be used in the most extreme of circumstances. This included an attack by an alien force, a disaster, or an unforeseen scientific development, and also a provision for a danger that had not yet been anticipated. Misuse of the ultimate code was a crime in the Federation. Starships operating under the ultimate code were required to observe radio silence and were expected to approach at battle stations.


{{Sub-Heading|red|Double Red Alert}}
{{Sub-Heading|red|Double Red Alert}}
The double red alert was a rarely used alert signal for extremely dire situations, especially when a nearly instantaneous response was required. A double red alert was technically equivalent to a red alert, except that it conveyed a higher sense of urgency. The alarms and lights for a double red alert were the same as for a standard red alert.

{{Sub-Heading|blue|External Support Mode}}
{{Sub-Heading|blue|Blue Alert}}
This is a state of reduced system operations typically invoked when the ship is docked at a starbase and is at least partially dependent on external power or environmental support systems.
Blue alert (also code blue or condition blue) was an alert signal status on Starfleet vessels and outposts which was called for in exceptional situations, including, but not limited to, environmental hazards to the crew, main power failure, docking and separation manoeuvres, entering or leaving space facilities and landing protocols, for ships with the capability.


{{Sub-Heading|blue|Separated Flight Mode}}
*'''External Support Mode''':
This is a set of operating protocols used when the Saucer Module has separated from the Stardrive Section. Note that many Red Alert operating rules apply, since such separation is typically for combat situations. Separated Flight Mode is not available on all starships.

A security alert was a type of alert signal aboard starships and space stations, primarily for internal security purposes. It was similar to an intruder alert and could be initiated explicitly by personnel or triggered by predefined parameters.

{{Sub-Heading|red|Intruder alert}}
*'''Intruder Alert''':
Intruder alert was an alert status on Federation starships and space stations. It could be declared at any time, by computer or any crewmember upon detecting an intruder on board. It could also be activated automatically based on predefined criteria, such as entering a restricted area. The alert was announced by audio and crewmembers were expected to take appropriate action also Security Condition Three was implemented and on some occasions raised to Security Condition Four and Red Alert Sounded.
