  • use the Bomb Threat Checklist to record all information (available in each department's copy of the Emergency Management flip-chart)
  • stay on the line only as long as the caller continues to provide useful information
  • immediately evacuate the premises (Take the checklist with you.)
• Call Campus Police and notify of above information.
