    • THE PERSON WHO RECEIVED THE BOMB THREAT MUST BE MADE AVAILABLE TO TALK WITH THE LOCAL AUTHORI-TIES.

  • The authorities may determine that there is time to conduct a search. If so, remain calm and assign a floor warden or trained employee to search your area to determine if any strange objects are present.

DO NOT TOUCH SUSPICIOUS OBJECTS IF FOUND

  • Report to the Police Department and Building Security the results of your search.
  • The local authorities will determine if a partial or total building evacuation is necessary.
  • When evacuation is necessary, follow the Evacuation Procedures in this manual or communicated via the public address system.

NOTE: Some office telephone systems offer a “record” feature on the deskset. If your system is equipped with this valuable feature, ensure your employees are familiar with it and are trained to activate the “record” feature when a bomb threat is in progress. Local authorities can review this recording as evidence.
