Businesses and Bombs: Preplanning and Response Available to Purchase

Draws on lessons learned from the use of heightened security measures in place during the 1991 Gulf War, to incorporate those which continue to make sense into a more permanent security plan designed to enable the public and private sectors to prepare for the potential threat of explosives‐related violence. Highlights the advantages of adequate preparation and outlines a number of deterrent measures. Describes how to formulate a bomb incident plan, establish a command centre, search for suspected explosive devices and how the appropriate emergency services can be called on for advice in advance of, and summoned to help in the event of, a bomb incident.
