Vigipirate (French: Plan Vigipirate) is France's national security alert system.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Created in 1978 through interministerial sessions and falling within the responsibilities of the prime minister, it has since been updated three times: in 1995 (following a terror bombing campaign), 2000 and 2004.[citation needed]
