Bomb Threat Procedures
General Policy:
“The bomb threat Should be taken seriously and cannot be considered a prank or hoax call to be dismissed by a hit-or-miss search of a building. The Incidents of today require that every threat be treated as actual until proven otherwise.”
| Time call received: | | Date: | |
Exact words of Caller’s Threat: | |
| |
|
Calmly, after caller pauses, ask as many as possible of the following questions. Most bomb threats are so short, that it may not be possible to conduct this entire procedure. Just ask what you can. It is very important that you remember as much about the call as possible. In all cases contact the UNT Police at x-3000.
After the caller hangs up, immediately get a dial tone and dial *57. By using *57 the phone company can trace the last call received from your phone. You will hear a recording letting you know that your call has successfully been traced and you will be given a 1-800 number. Write the number down and hang up. Then call the UNT Police from another phone.

Bomb Threat
Evacuation Procedures
- Write down the telephone number of Caller (visible in your readout window)
- Write down what caller says where is it, when will it go off….?) see checklist previous page.
- DO NOT HANG UP! When caller hangs up, immediately get dial tone and enter *57 to store the number with GTE. You will be given a 1-800 number. Write the number down and hang up. Then call UNT Police (x-3000) from another phone and give them the 1-800 number.
- Report threat to immediate supervisor. That supervisor will alert appropriate member or members of the steering committee or building representative. A representative from each department will meet in one of the building’s conference rooms. The group will collectively evaluate the situation and decide a plan of action.
- SECs will inform people to turn off cell phones
- Do not touch light switches, leave them as found
- Do not use elevator
If a decision is made to evacuate, staff members will meet at their designated meeting areas.
All staff and others shall immediately evacuate the building and proceed to the Kerr Hall Beach area.
SECs will take the emergency folder and post the signs with “ALL CLEAR” in their areas, when the areas have been cleared. Police / Supervisors will make a final check of the areas. When the building has been cleared, outside doors will be locked to keep anyone from returning to the building. SECs will then make sure all employees are present.
If there is a bomb threat in the building, all of the staff will walk to the Kerr Hall Beach area. The SECs will again account for the staff members in their areas. When it is safe to return to the building, the Police will come over and let us know. The Police will clear a three-block area, so that is why to the Kerr Hall Beach area
was chosen.
