Bomb Threat

If a bomb threat is received:


• Stay calm.
• If your phone has Caller ID, record the number displayed.
• Gain the attention of someone else close-by, point to this information, and have that         person call “0” from any other campus phone or 740-587-6777 from a cell phone. This call should be made out of hearing range from the caller.
• Try to keep the caller on the phone long enough to complete the Bomb Threat Check     Sheet located on the next page.
• Ask check sheet questions.
• Work with arriving emergency personnel to assist them in evaluating the situation.
• Assist emergency responders with a search of the area if requested.
• Provide for an orderly evacuation only when ordered by emergency personnel.
