“Although bomb threats are annoying and disruptive, they must be taken seriously.
Attempted
bombings, bomb threats and anthrax-type scares can cause panic in organizations
whose
personnel are not prepared to handle such situations. If the response to a threat is
mismanaged, the result can be greater disruption of activities and greater hazards
to
personnel and property. By developing a bomb incident plan, organizations can
take charge
of the situation and lessen the impact of the threat.”

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

“"Bomb Threat" is a video with accompanying Model Procedures Guide, designed
for
building management, security officials, crisis management teams, schools,
government
officials, fire and police, and others who may receive bomb threats or who may
respond to
bomb threats as a part of their duties. The program explains about the type of
locations
bombers are most likely to target and outlines a series of steps that building
management
can take to harden the site against becoming a potential target.

“Major elements of a bomb incident plan are described, including telephone
answering
procedures; chain of command; setting up a command center; developing a
communications
plan; alerting procedures; evacuation procedures; and search procedures. The
program tells
what questions should be asked of the threat-maker, and what else the call-taker
should be
alert for in order to substantiate the threat and perhaps identify the caller.

“The responsibilities of the on-site emergency manager are explained, and the
factors that
will help the emergency manager decide whether to call for an evacuation. The
concepts of
coded alerts and low-profile searches are explained. The role of the bomb squad,
including
equipment used, is detailed, and the roles of police & fire departments are
described. Other
topics covered include anthrax scares, 'safe' locations, recognizing a potential
bomb,
searching for secondary devices, hazmat teams, and re-occupying the building.
“The 28-page Model Procedures Guide will help in the preparation of a bomb
incident plan
tailored to a specific jurisdiction.

"Bomb Threat" was filmed in schools, office complexes, and industrial locations
with the
assistance of bomb squads, security officers, school administrators, office building
managers, fire fighters, and state and local police.”
