Bomb threats are rare, but they should always be taken seriously. The Department of Homeland Security has released resources that will train you on what to do if you receive a phoned-in bomb threat. How quickly and safely you react to a bomb threat could save lives, including your own. What should you do?

• Remain calm.
• Call 9-1-1 immediately and report a bomb threat to local law enforcement providing as much detail as you can.
• Follow law enforcement instructions.
• Evacuate the area and seek protective cover from the bomb and potential debris—these are the best ways to avoid injury.
• Do not approach or inspect suspicious items or unattended packages.
• Do not congregate near the incident scene as onlookers may impede first responders and law enforcement.
