A well-prepared organization has an emergency-response team. It's very common in today's corporate environments to have people who are volunteers, or in some cases even compensated for the extra duty and responsibility of being emergency responders for everything from medical emergencies to fires to evacuations due to bomb threats. In well-organized companies, the primary gatekeepers of the corporation—the receptionist for example, because nearly 100 percent of bomb threats are perpetrated by telephone—need to be trained. Ideally, everyone is oriented to the fact that when any person within the organization receives a bomb threat, there are certain things they need to do.
