HOW TO PREPARE? In preparing to cope with a bomb incident, it is necessary to develop two separate plans: PHYSICAL SECURITY PLAN – this will provide for the protection of property, personnel facilities and materials against unauthorized entry, trespass, damage sabotage or other illegal or criminal acts. The Physical Security Plan deals with the prevention and control of access to the building. and; BOMB INCIDENT PLAN - this will provide detailed procedures to be implemented when a bomb is found or when there is a threat to explode one. In planning, a Command Center must be designated to be located in a central point where the telephone and /or radio communication is located. Obtain an updated blue print of Floor Plan of your building and maintain it in the Command Center. Contact the Police Offices, Fire Department and/or Local Government Agencies for any assistance in developing you PHYSICAL SECURITY PLAN and BOMB INCIDENT PLANS Training is essential to deal properly with a bomb threat incident. Instruct all personnel, especially those at the telephone switchboard, on what to do if a bomb threat call is received..

Each threat received through any means should be treated as real and must be forwarded immediately to the proper authorities. REMEMBER: During Bomb Incidents, TIME is essential…..
