Responding to a Bomb Threat: DON'T HANG UP!
- Ask someone to call University Police at 564-2022.*
- Talk with the caller, try to take notes, record the Caller ID, any exact words.
-- male or female, young or old, calm or angry, background noises?
Ask these questions:
- Where is the bomb?
- What does the bomb look like? What kind of bomb is it?
- What will cause the bomb to explode?
- Who placed the bomb? Why was the bomb placed?
- Where are you calling from? What is your name?
Immediately after the call, contact University Police at 564-2022.*
- Remain calm, don't panic.
- If you are told to evacuate, walk to the nearest exit, tell other people to exit.
- Move to a safe area at least 150 feet from the building.
* If you are dialing from an on-campus phone and the number begins with 564-, you only have to dial the last four digits of the number.
