Most bomb threats are hoaxes which are made in an effort to disrupt normal business.
However, no bomb threat should be dismissed as a hoax without notifying the proper authorities immediately. Upon receiving a telephone bomb threat it is important to notify your immediate supervisor and the Department of Public Safety as soon as the caller hangs up. Listen, do not interrupt the caller. Immediately after the call, notify your supervisor and Public Safety. Do not talk to anyone unless instructed to do so by your supervisor or Public Safety.
