Bomb Threat

 

Bomb threat warning

Report the threat to the porter/security staff in the building or call the university emergency number: +48 71 784 19 91. You can also contact emergency services directly at 112. Provide the following information:

 

  • the type of threat and the source of the information (phone call, email, suspicious item);
  • details of any contact with the person reporting the bomb (phone number/email address used, time of the call/message exchange, and a description of the location and the appearance of the suspicious item).

 

 

What to do in the event of a bomb threat

 

If you notice an unattended item of unknown origin (a package, bag, device, etc.) and suspect it may be a bomb:

 

  • do not panic;
  • keep a safe distance;
  • do not approach or touch it;
  • do not use a mobile phone nearby;
  • warn others about the danger;
  • Follow the instructions of the building manager and the relevant emergency services at all times.

 

If your safety is not at immediate risk:

 

  • until the emergency services arrive, secure the area from a safe distance;
  • Once the emergency services arrive, follow the officers’ instructions.
  • If there is no information about a specific location, occupants should leave the rooms they are in. If you find an item of unknown origin, inform the incident commander immediately.

 

 

Remember

 

  • If you can see the bomb, you are within its blast range—take extreme care.
  • Do not touch suspicious items.
  • If an evacuation is announced, stay calm. This will help everyone leave the building/area quickly and safely.
  • Identification of an explosive device is the responsibility of specialised services.
  • When leaving the building, take your personal belongings with you—this helps officers carry out checks (fewer items to examine).
  • If you forgot something, do not go back inside —your health and life are more important.
  • If the car park is included in the danger zone, do not attempt to “save” your car (or other valuables)—your health and life are more important.
  • If someone who was in the building is missing at the assembly point, inform the incident commander.
  • Curiosity is dangerous — move away from the threatened area as quickly as possible.
  • Until the incident is over, do not call family or friends. They may come to the scene out of fear, which can hinder emergency services’ work.
