What to do in the event of a BOMB THREAT
NOTE: Health Science Campus employees should refer to the Code Black, Bomb Threats, policy # EP-08-004, for protocols unique to the patient care setting and the Health Science Campus Bomb Threat Checklist.
If you receive a threatening call:
Keep the caller on the line as long as possible. Ask the following questions:
- What does the bomb look like?
- When is it going to go off?
- Does it react with water?
- Why are you doing this?
As soon as the caller hangs up, call UT Police at x-2600, (or you can dial x-77 on the Health Science Campus).
Notify your supervisor.
Meet with and assist University Police personnel.
Evacuate building, as directed.
Do not re-enter building until the "all clear" has been given by UT Police or Safety and Health personnel.
