Bomb is Found


If a Bomb is found:

  • Dial 911.
  • Notify Security.
  • Do not touch or disturb the bomb or suspicious articles in any way unless it is a life- or-death situation.
  • Based on direction from the police or appropriate law enforcement agency, evacuate occupants and guests immediately.
  • Evacuate people at a distance safe from flying glass and debris, usually at least 300 feet.
  • Do not allow anyone to return to their office until officially approved to do so.
  • Initiate damage control procedures.
A bomb threat response plan must address the possibility of receiving bomb threats in writing or by telephone. While all threats should be taken seriously, your firm's response may depend on the circumstances present at any given time.
