    10. Bomb Threat Card

    14. Does the Threat Include Building Layout Information? Knowledge of the Type of Business? Reason for planting the bomb? Details of Bomb Construction?

    15. Evaluating Bomb Threats Have there been prior acts against this entity? Have there been prior acts against other, similar entities? Is this part of a series of threats? How accessible is the facility to the public? What facility security measures are in place? What other tenants are in the facility?

    16. Organizations need to establish a plan for dealing with bomb threats and/or actual explosive devices prior to receiving the threat. An understanding of the concepts of risk management, threat assessment and a realistic understanding of the power of explosives are required to prepare a plan that is appropriate for the circumstances. Without a plan in place that is current, reasonable and clear, the organizations response can lead to disruption, damage or personal injury.Organizations need to establish a plan for dealing with bomb threats and/or actual explosive devices prior to receiving the threat.

    17. Planning Bomb Threat Response Requires Input from: Management Supervisors Employees Maintenance Security All levels of an organization must participate in preparing a bomb threat response. The people within an organization are aware of their surroundings and their knowledge of and participation in a response plan can greatly increase the odds of its success.All levels of an organization must participate in preparing a bomb threat response.

    18. Minimizing the Threat Restrict Access Inspect Packages/Deliveries Control Keys Video Surveillance Lighting The first step of developing a response plan is to minimize the threat. By taking basic steps, companies and organizations can make it more difficult for the bomber to gain access to the facilities to place a device in the first place. Where feasible, access should be restricted to those personnel required to perform the function of the organization. Obviously, in a retail environment, restricting access to the public is not feasible,whereas it may be entirely feasible in a manufacturing environment. All incoming packages and deliveries should be inspected before being accepted. By using the Letter and Package Bomb Identification procedures, personnel can identify suspicious packages before they are opened. Control access to the facility through security measures. Record key numbers and/or use electronic entry tracking systems to monitor access to areas of the facility. Video surveillance and proper lighting can deter criminal acts as well as intimidate the bomber.The first step of developing a response plan is to minimize the threat.
