See Appendix C for a checklist provided for your convenience. Address the possibility of a bomb threat or suspicious packages or devices in staff meetings, class meetings, and include your expectations in the class syllabus. Reviews should be quick visual checks. Do not handle any suspicious objects. Be prepared to notify police of the exact location of any suspicious object sighted.
Communications is essential in a bomb threat.
Notify police of any relevant information. Prepare for future evacuations. The local media will be interested in reporting the story. Please refer all media inquiries to the OSU Public Information Office or to the OSU police. It is believed that the more publicity a bomb threat receives, the more likely repeat threats will be received.
