Bomb Threat and Suspicious Device

Once the Building Management Office has been notified of a bomb threat, it is our policy to advise your firm’s manager or senior officer. It is up to the manager or senior officer to decide whether it is appropriate to evacuate the office.

 

Bomb Threat Procedure

If you receive a bomb threat by telephone, obtain the following information from the caller:

  • Exact location of the device.
  • Time set for explosion;
  • Description of the device;
  • Reason the caller has placed the bomb;
  • Exact words used by the caller.
  • Caller’s name

 

Note the following:

  • Time of call
  • Was the caller male or female
  • Describe voice and accent
  • Background noises
  • Was the caller angry or show other emotions

 

Upon hanging up with the caller:

  1. Call 911
  2. Inform Building Management immediately
  3. Notify your supervisor.
  4. The Building Management Office will notify all tenant companies; in addition, handouts will be given to all persons entering the lobby and the garage to inform them of the bomb threat.
  5. If advised to evacuate by your senior officer, do so quickly, and move at least three (3) blocks away.

 

Suspicious Device Procedure
