In the event of a bomb threat, record what the caller said, identify as closely as possible the age, sex and accent of the caller, identify any background noise, and assess the validity of the call.

Ask the caller where the bomb is located, when it is set to go off, and what the bomb is contained in.

After receiving the call you should CALL 911 immediately and provide the following information:

• State clearly, “I’ve received a bomb threat.”
• Give your name and company.
• Call the Building Manager’s Office at 212-947-5849 and inform them that you have received a bomb threat and that you have already called 911.  The decision to evacuate should be made immediately.
• Take all purses, packages, briefcases, and suitcases.  All of these items are likely to be suspect and may be destroyed by the Bomb Squad if left in your suite.
