While a bomb threat is unlikely, they typically occur by telephone. The person receiving a bomb threat should remain calm and attempt to obtain as much information as possible.

1. If You Receive a Bomb Threat:

  • DO NOT HANG UP.

  • Remain calm.

  • Try to prolong the conversation and get as much information as possible.

  • Are there background noises, such as music, voices or cars?

  • How does the caller’s voice sound? Any accent? What sex? What age? Any unusual words or phrases?

  • Does the caller seem to know our campus? How is the bomb location described?

  • Does the caller use a person’s name? Does the caller give his/her name?

2. Report the Threat:

Call UNO Public Safety at 402.554.2911 and report a bomb threat.

  • Identify yourself – give your name, location, and phone number.

  • Give the operator all the information you collected.

  • After this is done, notify your supervisor immediately.

  • Stand by for further instructions.

3. Evacuate if Necessary:

If it is deemed necessary to evacuate, you will be notified by your supervisor or the overhead paging system.

Evacuate via the primary route for your area, or by the alternate route, if so directed.
