Bomb

Keep the following checklist for bomb threat procedures (see the Document Repository) available at the receptionist/telephone operator desk at all times. Our suggestion is to laminate a copy and place it under their phone.

  • Remember - always attempt to obtain as much information as possible, and listen carefully, not only to the voice and words, but also for the background sounds.
  • Immediately notify the Office of the Building at 692-8200. If possible, have a second person call the Office of the uilding while the bomb threat is still in progress.
  • Be alert for any unfamiliar people and/or objects to point out to the police or management staff upon their arrival. Do not leave your office until directed to do so by police, building management or your Coordinator.
  • The Coordinator will inform all employees to search their immediate work areas. You are the only one who knows your work area - no one else can possibly know if something is out of place or new. It will be the responsibility of the Coordinator to identify any suspicious items or packages that do not belong in the space.

Do not touch anything! Do not open/close doors!

Do not operate any electrical or electronic device (lights, radios, etc.). If there is a bomb, a radio will detonate it; do not turn any radio device on!!!

  • If a suspicious object is found, the Management Office will notify tenants and evacuate the known area where the suspicious object is located and call in trained police and fire personnel. The police and fire personnel will evaluate the situation and do everything possible to ensure the safety of the people in the building. If a verifiable bomb is found, the Chicago Police and Fire Department have a complete bomb and arson team on 24-hour call that will come to our aid.
  • All tenants in the building not directly involved in the bomb threat will be informed of the situation as it progresses. If evacuation is suggested, this suggestion will be passed on to all tenants.
