The response plan should include: relevant stakeholders in the response, logistics, special considerations as a result of the scenario context (season, location etc), challenges, likely outcomes, conclusions and recommendations for the future.

Scene: It is a busy Sydney January morning and crowds are hurrying to work in the Sydney CBD. The days have been unusually hot.

The Art Gallery of NSW in Sydney is holding an exhibition of fine art and precious paintings. The Gallery has arranged for a special viewing of the paintings by groups of older people today. The groups will start arriving at 10am and will arrive every 20 minutes to start their tour. In total about 30 people are on each bus.

The first two buses arrive at 10am and 10.20am. At 10.25am a suspicious person enters the art gallery. He is carrying a backpack and wears a thick jacket. He moves into the gallery with the last of the second group of people. Once inside the gallery itself he produces a weapon and huddles the older people and gallery staff into a corner of the exhibition room. He says he will kill everyone if his demands are not met.

Role: You are the Commissioner of Police and have been notified that a siege is taking place in the Art Gallery of NSW. You are told there are a number of older people in the Gallery. What would your response plan be given the situation and the context of the event?
