[Baynet] MayDay observance urges disaster planning for cultural institutions

[Western]

The Heritage Emergency National Task Force has selected May 1 as the
date to raise awareness among archives, libraries, museums and historic
preservation organizations concerning the critical need for natural
disaster planning. The Task Force is urging that every cultural
institution across the country take at least one step on that date to
protect their collections in the event of a disaster. 

 

If your institution requires comprehensive disaster planning services,
OCLC Western is prepared to help. As part of our consulting

services, our preservation staff is available to provide disaster
planning services, along with other services such as site surveys,
collection assessments and environmental scans. In addition, Western
staff can help you review grant funding options for a preservation site
survey or collections review. Our goal is to prepare and protect our
members' precious collections, and to increase their knowledge and
skills about long-term collection care.  

 

For more information about our disaster planning consulting services or
any of our preservation programs, please contact Gayle Palmer
