On BOMBS and BOMB THREATS

BE CONSTANTLY PREPARED! There is no excuse for not taking. Every step is necessary to meet a BOMB THREAT.

BOMB - A device capable of producing damage to material and injury and death to people when detonated or ignited. Bomb are classified as explossive, which causes damage by fragmentation, heat and blast wave; and incendiary which generates fire-producing heat without a substantial explosion when ignited.

BOMBING - A bombing occurs when an explossive bomb detonates or an incendiary bomb ignites.

BOMB THREAT. An information or warning claiming knowledge that a dangerous device, such as a bomb or similar type of explossive, has been or will be placed in a building, aircraft or other facilities.

BOMBING INCIDENT. Any occurrence involving the detonation /ignition of a bomb, the discovery of a bomb, or the execution of a bomb threat.

WHY PREPARE AGAINST BOMB INCIDENTS?
Task Force Davao encourages every citizen and every establishments to be constantly prepared against bomb threats and bombing incidents. Through preparation, you can reduce the accessibility of your building and identify those areas that can be "hardened" against the potential bomber. Proper planning can also reduce the threat of panic and decrease the potential for injury and property damage.

HOW TO PREPARE. In preparing to cope with a bomb incident, it is necessary to develop two separate plans: a security plan and a bomb incident plan.
  • Security provides for the protection of property, personnel, facilities, and material against unauthorized entry, trespass, damage, sabotage, or other illegal or criminal acts. The security plan deals with the prevention and control of access to building.
  • The bomb incident plan provides detailed procedures to be implemented when a bomb is found or threatened.
  • In planning, a command center must be designated to be located in a focal point of telephone or radio communications. Obtain as updated blueprint of floor plan of your building and maintain it in the command center.
