Federal Building Threat Notification Act

The guidance must include standard procedures for informing building tenants about threats and safety protocols during life safety events (like active threats or natural disasters) at federally owned buildings. Facility security committees at each building are responsible for implementing this guidance. The GSA must also submit a report to Congress within 18 months detailing the implemented protocols.
