Bomb Threat

In the event of a bomb threat, remain calm and attempt to obtain as much information as possible from the caller. If your phone has caller ID, list the source of the call if available.

  1. Notify Purdue Calumet Police at ext. 2911 as soon as possible. The Academic Learning Center calls 989-2911 as soon as possible. If possible, have another employee contact the campus police while you keep the caller on the line. Inform the police of the situation, including any information you may have as to location of the bomb, time it is set to explode, time you received the call and any distinguishing information about the caller.
  2. If instructed to evacuate, gather your belongings and evacuate by the nearest exit in an orderly manner.
  3. Building evacuation notification will be made by the Emergency Preparedness – Public Address System or by a University representative. The message will include the designated Evacuation Standby Area.
  4. DO NOT re-enter a building until instructed to do so.

The following are the designated Evacuation Standby Areas for the campus and the Academic Learning Center. In the event that an evacuation is required, the building occupants will report to their designated Evacuation Standby Area until the ALL CLEAR is given by a University representative.
