1.5: Bomb Threat Procedures:  Over the past few days, individuals at
universities around the country have received bomb threats by email.  More
than 10 different universities, including the University of Iowa and the
University of Akron (Ohio) have received threats, some of them building
specific, and some of them naming the entire campus.  None of these email
threats has resulted in an actual event.  All of them have been determined
to be a hoax.  If you receive a bomb threat through email, please follow our
normal bomb threat procedure, which includes notifying Purdue University
Police Department (call 911).  Do not delete the email, as an officer will
come to your location to gather additional information.  Additional
emergency procedures information may be found here:
