With bombs blasting in major cities in India such as Hyderabad & Jaipur and more recently in Ahmedabad and Bangalore and in a place near Peshawar, Pakistan as I write this post, its no secret that terrorist activities around the world are at a zenith and we are all at their mercy.

It’s quite possible then that one of us may receive a telephonic bomb threat from the terrorists. Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA has given a few guidelines on how to handle such calls. If you do get a call, then you should do the following.

  • Get as much information from the caller as possible. Try to ask the following questions:
    1. When is the bomb going to explode?
    2. Where is it right now?
    3. What does it look like?
    4. What kind of bomb is it?
    5. What will cause it to explode?
    6. Did you place the bomb?
    7. Why?
    8. What is your address?
    9. What is your name?
  • Keep the caller on the line and record everything that is said.
  • Notify the police and building management.

While you are at it, you should also know What to do during an explosion and What to do after an explosion. Do Digg and Stumble this post and pass the word around so that no one is caught unawares :)
