In light of the recent spate of bomb scares in supermarkets and other establishments in the City, Disaster Risk Management has developed a bomb threat module, which is offered at their training centre.

Spokesperson for the City’s disaster management team Wilfred Solomons-Johannes says that businesses should consider sending its employees on the course.
“It (the course) looks at the whole bomb threat management in respect of how to prepare yourself in terms of developing the plans in itself for bombs, looking at how to handle bombs and also to give an indication of what the device looks like,” he said.

Solomons-Johannes says that the course also teaches people how to deal with telephone calls, written threats and even suspicious mail and packages.
