::  TERRORISM / SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY  ::

TERRORISM:  Any incident activity or behavior that would include bombings, bomb threats, threatening letters or packages, and incidents related to the intentional release of chemical/biological/radioactive agents. NRC Watch Standers have been trained to ask specific questions for such reports and will immediately pass the information to the proper agencies for response.

SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY:  Any incident, activity or behavior that you deem to be of a suspicious nature should be reported to the NRC by calling 1-877-24-WATCH or 1-800-424-8802.  Suspicious activity reports can also be submitted by using the NRC On-Line Reporting Tool located under the Services tab above.   Examples of suspicious activity would be:

  • people appearing to be engaged in surveillance of any kind (picture taking, note taking, shooting video, asking strange questions, etc)

  • recovering or tossing items into the water

  • unattended vessels or vehicles in unusual locations

  • light signals between boats

  • unusual diving, night operations

  • operations in an area that usually does not have such activity

  • fishing or hunting in locations not typically used for those activities

  • anchoring in areas not typically used for anchoring

  • transfer of people or things between ships or shore that seems unusual

  • small planes flying over critical areas

  • people attempting to buy or rent fishing or recreational  boats/vehicles with cash for short term, undefined use

  • anyone operating a vessel in an aggressive manner

  • missing fencing or lighting near sensitive locations

Remember- it is the activity or behavior that is suspicious, not a persons ethnicity.
