When a bomb threat is received, many factors must be considered to determine the credibility of the threat and the danger it poses. Assessing credibility is essential in determining the time, location and type of bomb that should be detonated or whether the threat is a hoax. Another consideration is whether the threat was a ruse to tie up assets in one location, leaving other locations vulnerable to other types of crimes. There are two categories of bomb threat assessment. The first category is threat assessment. This is a list of ten questions relating to a verbal or written threat. There are yes or no answers to each question and one point is awarded for each yes. The score is then totaled and the threat of a bomb increases as the score increases. The more detailed a caller or note is about the bomb, the more credible the (usual) threat. Less accurate information, such as mentioning details about the site that are obviously incorrect, increases the risk that the bomb threat is a hoax. The second category of target assessment includes 12 questions and is more focused on the establishment and its employees. The same scoring principle is used as for the threat assessment. The more credible a threat is deemed to be, the more urgency should be given to evacuation and search procedures. After determining that there is a credible threat of a bomb explosion, the decision to search or not to search is made by senior management. or follow standard operating procedures. Normally, the best policy is to search the premises after receiving a call threatening a bombing or explosion. However, in some cases it may be appropriate not to seek and initiate......in the middle of such an intimate ......ing document with many areas and the aspiration to be productive (threats Bombing and Physical Security Planning, nd). Using a K-9 explosive detection team will be the quickest method to clear a building and locate a possible bomb. The location of a suspicious package could be simply something suspicious, an actual bomb, or a dangerous instrument. In any case, the package must not be touched or disturbed. If possible, identify the package with markings near the item. Notify law enforcement so they can request the appropriate bomb squad or canine team to investigate the suspicious package. In the event of a bomb threat, it is always recommended to conduct a search to confirm or deny the presence of a bomb on the premises. In the event of an evacuation, consider moving to a safe area, preferably out of sight of the installation, to reduce losses in the event of an explosion..
