A bomb threat is rare and chaotic, which is exactly why the SOP must be exact. This checklist is what a bomb-threat procedure must confirm so the person who takes the call knows what to do and who to reach.
What to capture and how to keep the caller talking.
A threat checklist available at every likely phone.
Who to call first, including police, in order.
How the decision is made and by whom.
What is said to staff and what is not.
What the event records afterward.
These are the items a checklist catches and a quick read usually does not.
Call handling, a checklist at every phone, ordered notification including police, the search-or-evacuate decision, controlled communication, and documentation.
