Bomb Threat
Steps to follow when a bomb threat has been received:
1. Remain calm and courteous, do not interrupt the caller unnecessarily, but attempt to obtain as much of the information in the checklist as possible.
2. If possible have a second person call the RCMP (9 - 911) while the threat is being received. Otherwise press *57 to trace last call and call the RCMP as soon as the caller has finished.
3. Call the Safety & Security Department at local 4190 (they are responsible for the on-site coordination for all emergencies) and advise them of the situation. The Safety & Security person will proceed as if he or she has received the call.
General Information:
• The President or designate will decide whether the building will be evacuated (usually in consultation with the RCMP). Evacuation will proceed in the same manner as for a fire alarm or other emergency, keeping in mind that incidents of bombings are often followed by secondary explosions caused by additional bombs hidden nearby and calculated to cause additional damage or death.
• The On-site Director (or Security) may order the evacuation of buildings or the campus where lives are considered to be in immediate danger and the President or alternate is unavailable. Where such actions have been taken, the President shall be informed as soon as communication can be established. Evacuation will be done within a 100 yard radius unless a larger area is deemed appropriate.
∙ No one may re-enter a building without direct permission from the On-site Director or designate.
∙ The all-clear signal shall be given by the On-site Director after consultation with the RCMP and the President.
• A Bomb Threat checklist is provided on the next page. Fill out as much of the information as possible at the time of the threat, or as soon as possible afterwards to ensure that events are recalled as accurately as possible.
ALL BOMB THREATS ARE TO BE TREATED AS THE “REAL THING” UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE.
For Evacuation Procedures please see PRO-10
