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.
