I've created a new Yahoo Group for people interested (and in some
cases, worried) about Emergency Preparedness for museums, galleries,
libraries and archives.

This subject goes under several names: counter-disaster planning,
incident response, collections salvage; but with some honourable
exceptions, institutions keep it at the bottom of their agenda - until
it happens to them. Business Continuity is a newer, but established
field, whose methodologies can be applied to the needs of museums. It
probably won't unlock any more funds, but those of us with concerns can
talk, swap ideas and resources.

To find it, use the Yahoo Groups search and enter: Business Continuity
Museums. Directions for subscribing are at the bottom of the page. It
is presently empty; contributions from people with real matters will
meaningfully fill it.

Thank you

Graham Stapleton
