What is the minimum evacuation distance advised from a suspected bomb?

The minimum evacuation distance advised from a suspected bomb is 25 yards. This distance is recommended to ensure the safety of individuals in the vicinity because explosive devices can cause significant damage due to the blast radius, shrapnel, and secondary effects. Evacuating to this distance helps minimize the risk of injury or fatalities should detonation occur.

While some might argue for greater distances based on the specific context or type of explosive, 25 yards is generally seen as a prudent measure established by safety protocols and guidelines to effectively reduce exposure to risk while maintaining operational efficiency during evacuations. Factors such as the type of area (urban vs. open space), the potential size of the explosive device, and other situational specifics could dictate different actions, but the 25-yard mark serves as a baseline for immediate evacuation procedures.
