Emergency Preparedness: Bomb Threats

Remain calm.
Listen carefully. Be polite and show interest. Try to keep the caller talking so that you can gather more information.


Use the Explosive Device Data Record information Explosive Device Data Record information to question the caller in a polite manner. Use any means, even humor, to prolong the conversation. This will provide a better chance to identify the voice and hopefully obtain additional information about a device, the validity of the threat, or the identity of the caller.


Upon completion of the call, immediately notify the Campus Police (5555) and complete the Explosive Data Record as soon as possible while the incident is still fresh in your memory.


If another individual has received a threat and he/she is relaying this information to you, use the Explosive Device Data Record to get as much information as possible.
See Explosive Data Record on next page. Make copies for future reference and use.
