We discussed this issue some 20 years ago at the Alte Pinakotek in
Munich. We decided that the best way to prepare for the eventuality
of bombing or shooting is to bring the local police department in.
The police came for a discussion and training session and since
there is also the possibility of a hostage situation they also
brought a police psychologist.  It was an extremely productive
session and the results were incorporated in the preparedness plan.
