Procedures for Handling Bomb Threats 1. Anyone receiving a bomb threat should immediately report to the President's or Provost's Office and Security. 2. Administrative Assistants in the President's Office are responsible for contacting the building coordinators or their alternates, who will then evacuate buildings. Building coordinators will then instruct pre-determined designees to begin searching the area for which they are responsible. 3. All designees will report to the building coordinator or alternate at a pre-determined site. If nothing has been discovered, the building coordinator or alternate will contact the President's Office that their area is clear. If something has been discovered, the Building Coordinator or alternate will contact the President's Office, who will then notify Security. After each area or room is searched, it should be locked if it is lockable. 4. When evacuating classrooms, students are not to leave campus. All students and College employees should be moved to a designated area well clear of the buildings. 5. Under no circumstances will anyone be permitted to re-enter the buildings without direct permission from the Building Coordinator or alternate. 6. After notifying the President's or Provost's Office and Security, whoever receives the threat should immediately be relieved so that he/she may be available to law enforcement officials. 7. Once a building coordinator has determined that his/her area is clear, he/she must notify the President's or Provost's Office of this. Only after checking in with the President's or Provost's Office may any building be re-entered. 8. Once buildings have been evacuated, searched, and locked, if another threat is called in, the procedure need not be repeated unless someone has re-entered the building(s). If people have re-entered, the entire procedure must be followed again.
