code green
Medical evacuation signal
Code green is a hospital or institutional alert indicating a specific emergency, most commonly a combative or agitated patient requiring security intervention.
The meaning varies by facility—some use it for evacuations, others for missing patients or all-clear signals.
Like other color-coded alerts, it allows staff to communicate urgently without alarming visitors: Code green, third floor—we need security now.
