Federal Building Safety Communication Bill

Federal Building Threat Notification Act This bill requires the General Services Administration (GSA) and the Federal Protective Service (FPS) to develop and disseminate emergency communication guidance for building facility security committees to use in life safety events that threaten federal buildings owned and operated by GSA under the protection of FPS. (Life safety events are events to which first responders deploy.) The guidance must include best practices and protocols relating to (1) procedures to inform building tenants of threats to the building or its occupants, and (2) instructions for safety practices in response to threats or heightened risk to the building or its occupants.

1. This bill requires the government to create emergency communication guidelines for federal buildings. 2. It defines 'life safety events' as situations needing first responders like police and firefighters. 3. The guidelines will include procedures to inform building occupants about threats. 4. It also provides safety instructions for occupants during emergencies. 5. A report on the implementation of these guidelines must be submitted to Congress.

Federal employees and visitors in government buildings will benefit from improved safety measures.
