What should I do if there is a bomb threat?

Bomb Threats

Bomb threats, whether real or not, have to be taken seriously by college personnel. After all, the safety of their students is a top priority for them. A bomb threat will most likely not be announced over the building communications system because the last thing law enforcement wants is widespread panic and people rushing out of the building. A mad rush for the exits can result in someone being seriously injured or someone accidentally setting off the bomb (if it's real). During a bomb scare, law enforcement may systematically evacuate the building if needed. When asked to leave, don't argue and don't try to stay. For your own safety, leave the building. The building will be searched and no one will be allowed to return until law enforcement is certain the area is safe.
