Najczęściej zadawane pytania
Should I hang up on a bomb threat caller?

Who decides whether to evacuate after a bomb threat?
Your site's bomb threat plan names who makes that decision, usually building management working with police. If a suspected bomb is found on site, the area is evacuated right away.

Do not reply or delete it. Leave it open, take a screenshot with the subject, date and time, and call 911 and building management.
