Bomb Threat

Follow these instructions in the event that you receive a
telephone bomb threat:

• Listen to the caller carefully and write down what you
  are told. Always remember to ask the caller when and
  where the device is supposed to activate. Try to fill out
  as much of the information on the form below, but don’t
  be surprised if the caller simply hangs up before you can
  react. This is typical.
• Do not panic. The vast majority of phoned-in bomb
  threats are pranks.
• Call University Police immediately at 424-1212 and
  report what the caller said. Stay on the telephone with
  the University Police dispatcher. You may receive instructions
  from the dispatcher or an officer over the phone,
  depending on the circumstances. An officer will always be
  dispatched immediately to meet with you.
• Do not activate a fire alarm unless told to do so by an
  officer or the dispatcher. The University Police department
  follows specific procedures regarding bomb
  threat response and evacuations. Building evacuations will
  be conducted only if ordered by the person in charge of
  the incident.
• If you are told to evacuate, close your room door but
  do not lock it. Take lunches, purses, backpacks and personal
  packages (as they could be mistaken for concealed
  explosives) and exit the building. Move well away from
  the building (500 feet is recommended) for your safety.
  Stay away from windows.
