SUSPICIOUS OBJECTS

# DO NOT hang around the area where the suspected bomb is located. Leave the place immediately.
# DO report immediately to your security any unattended items that you notice.
# DO call the following numbers to get emergency assistance: 118, 119, 24-33333(Police Emergency), or 243-4253 / 2244-057 (bomb squad)
# DO NOT place yourself in exposed areas (near glass windows for example) and DO NOT peep out tosee what is happening when you hear bombs: you might get directly in harm’s way and make yourselfan easy target. DO move away immediately and crouch down if you hear any sound of gun-fire or anyother similar sound or should you observe an unusual crack suddenly developing on the glass sheets.
# DO be as calm as possible. If someone else takes charge of the situation follow him/her withouthesitation.
# DO help to vacate the building – when necessary - in an urgent and orderly manner.
