The Federal Building Threat Notification Act would require the Federal Protective Service to create guidelines for warning building occupants during emergencies like active shooters, weapons threats, terrorism, or suspicious packages found inside or within about 150 feet of the building. Each building would need a designated safety official to implement these guidelines, and the agency would regularly test employee emergency preparedness. Within one year, the agency must report to Congress on practices adopted and brief lawmakers on additional resource needs.
Federal employees and visitors in buildings protected by the Federal Protective Service, plus the agencies managing building security who would take on new planning and reporting duties.
The change would standardize how people in federal buildings are notified and instructed during security emergencies, shifting new safety-planning and reporting responsibilities onto covered agencies.
