The bill requires the Federal Protective Service to create standard alert systems and safety instructions so that workers inside federal buildings are quickly warned about shootings, weapons threats, terrorism threats, or suspicious packages found inside or within 150 feet of the building. It also requires periodic drills so employees know what to do during a real emergency, and assigns a specific security official at each building to make sure the plan is followed.
