Query: What types of training do you give your volunteers and staff re
emergencies like fire, bomb threats, unhinged persons on the grounds/in
the buildings, suspicious packages, etc.?

Ohio's state capitol is working on this with a consultant, and we, the
tour operation and educators/historians, are to participate. I'd like to
know how others approach the topic in a museum atmosphere (though we're
both an historic site and a working gov't office building). Seminars?
Handouts? Drills? Other? Recent events, of course, have sharpened our
awareness of these things.

Thanks for your views.
