  1. Immediately notify the Oklahoma City University Police Department by using a landline to dial 208-5911 (the use of cell phones may trigger a device).

  2. The Oklahoma City University Police Department will assess the threat, and will notify building occupants.

  3. Each employee should, when directed to by Oklahoma City University Police Department:

    • Quickly observe his/her work area for any unfamiliar objects.

    • DO NOT TOUCH ANY SUSPICIOUS OBJECT.

    • Note its location and report it to police.

    • When directed, follow the General Evacuation Procedures.

    • Do not try to locate the bomb, and do not try to move the bomb if found.

    • Avoid all suspected objects.
