Bomb threats are taken very seriously by the Division of Public Safety. If you receive a call from anyone making such a threat, please act immediately.

Procedures

• Remain calm.
• If the threat is received by phone, try to remember as much information about the phone call as possible.
• Immediately call Penn Police at 215-573-3333. Use a cell phone if possible, in case you are required to evacuate. If you do not have one, then call 511 from a campus phone.
• Follow the instructions from emergency personnel.
