14.

Give your name, location, and telephone number. Inform the police of the situation, including all information you have as to the location of the bomb, time set to explode, and time you received the call. Inform the HD on duty of the bomb threat, as well as the Hall Director of the building (if reachable). Staff should not evacuate buildings, or inform residents of the threat, unless informed to do so by the Department of Public Safety or a professional staff member of Residence Life. • Office machines • Voices • PA system • Static • Street Noises • Animal Noises • Factory machines • Long distance • House Noises • Clear • Local • Music • Motor • Other •  Questions to Ask: • When is the bomb going to explode? • Where is the bomb right now? • What does it look like? • What kind of bomb is it? • What will cause it to explode? • Did you place the bomb? • Why? • What is your address? • What is your name? • Exact wording of the threat: • Gender of caller ____________ Age________ •  Length of call _________ Time ________Date ________ • Well-spoken • Foul • Incoherent • Taped • Irrational • CALLER’S VOICE: • Calm • Angry • Rapid • Whispered • Normal  • Deep • Breathy • Nasal • Stutter • Loud • Slurred • Laughter • Slow • Familiar • Crying • Distinct • Cracking • Excited • Raspy • Soft • Lisp • Disguised • Accent

16. Power Outage Procedure If away from campus, please return to your building as soon as possible. Check to see if someone is stuck in the elevators or not (if they stop). Meet up with staff to divide up fire rounds in 15 t0 30 minute increments-walking the floors with a flashlight, checking on residents, watching for fires (candles), etc. Be sure to keep calm and wait for power to return. Quick Notes Keep calm at all times. The fire alarm system will not work during a power outage, therefore the fire rounds are very important. Your HD will be receiving information regarding the status of the outage and will pass on information to you. This is a reason we don’t want you to have cordless phones in your room but have a corded phone. Remember that if it’s too dangerous to do something, DPS or the Fire Dept will take care of it.

17. Facility Emergencies Elevators

18. Elevators Quick Notes Keep calm at all times. The person in the elevator may freak out more if you are freaking out. The elevators do have a back-up generator, so they can run when the power goes out. Myers is electrical only (no generator) meaning no power, no go. Procedure Figure out which floor the elevator is stuck on. DO NOT PRY OPEN DOORS!! Relay information to HDOD/your HD: Floor, doors open or closed, how many people are stuck, etc. The HD or HDOD can have DPS look at the cameras (except for Myers). Depending on situation (power outage or just stuck on a floor) the person could be on the elevator for a bit of time.

19. Flood by Plumbing Quick Notes As in all situations, keep calm. Small floods are a lot easier to work with than large ones, so being aware of things going on will keep the chances down. The sooner the HDs know about the situation the faster Facilities can get here. Be realistic about the situation. A small drip doesn’t constitute a flood, but a broken shower head and a clogged drain would. Procedure Contact HDOD or your HD. Figure out where problem is coming from. If there is a flood happening inside the building, try pushing the water towards a floor drain. Help HD with anything they direct you to do. HDs will do as much as they can before Facilities arrives. Facilities may take some time getting there depending on time and where the on-call person lives.
