With the Raleigh area under a Winter Storm Advisory, Meredith College classes will be held remotely on Monday, January 26, and Tuesday, January 27, 2026. Employees who can work remotely can do so during all shifts on January 26 – January 27.

Bomb threats must be treated as a serious matter.

  • All threats must be considered real.
  • Allow proper authorities to make evacuation decisions. Early evacuation before the evacuation route has been searched may place more people in jeopardy than not evacuating at all.
  • Call Campus Police at 8888.

 

If suspicious object or potential bomb is discovered:

  • Do not handle the object.
  • Evacuate the immediate area and call Campus Police at 8888.
  • Be sure to include the location and appearance of the object when reporting.

 

If a phone bomb threat is received, try to ask the caller the following questions and record the answers:

  • When is the bomb going to explode?
  • Where is the bomb located?
  • What kind of bomb is it?
  • What does it look like?
  • Why did you place the bomb?

 

Keep the caller talking as long as possible and try to determine and record the following information:

  • Time of call
  • Sex and approximate age of caller
  • Speech pattern
  • Emotional state of caller
  • Background noise.

 

IMMEDIATELY CALL CAMPUS POLICE AT 8888.

After evacuation, report to the Emergency Assembly Area. DO NOT RE-ENTER THE BUILDING UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY AUTHORITIES.
