A Dark Day: Bomb Threat

At a glance

A Dark Day: Bomb Threat is a simulation from iluminr in the Physical Security category for Crisis Management, Operations and People & HR. It tests how your team protects branch & site operations, with indicative mapping to OCC / Fed / FDIC Sound Practices, FFIEC BCM Handbook and APRA CPS 230.

An anonymous caller threatens the safety of colleagues at a key site location with the imminent detonation of a bomb. Strategic response teams must move through critical decisions regarding the threat to delineate roles, responsibilities and delegated authorities in alignment with emergency response teams and stakeholders.

What it tests

  • Validate key roles and responsibilities and delegated authorities for a rapidly evolving critical event.
  • Evidence knowledge of the first actions in a critical event.
  • Validate the currency of response plans for a critical event.
  • Validate staff welfare strategies.
