The Federal Building Threat Notification Act directs the GSA and FPS to develop guidance for handling emergency communications during "life safety events" like fires, disasters, or security threats. The guidance must cover standard warning procedures and safety steps for rising threat levels, and be shared with building security committees within one year. GSA must report to Congress on implemented best practices within 18 months.
People who work in or visit GSA-owned, FPS-protected federal buildings, plus the security officials and committees managing safety at those sites.
The change would replace building-by-building improvisation with standardized emergency notification and safety procedures across federal facilities.
