Online Museum Classes
Description:
Disaster planning is overwhelming. Where do you start? Talk to Terri about how to get going. Use her check list to determine your level of preparedness. What do you already have in place? Are you somewhat prepared? What can you do next?
Logistics:
Participants in Collection Protection will read literature and complete a checklist before joining a one-hour chat to discuss disaster preparedness at their institutions. Participants in Collection Protection will be sent information the week before the chat. Each student should read course materials and prepare questions or comments to share with the other students in the chat.
This is a mini-course and takes no more than 10 hours of a student's time. It will be held twice in 2007.
Please sign up at http://www.museumclasses.org and pay at http://www.collectioncare.org/tas/tas.html If you have trouble with either, please contact Helen Alten at helen@collectioncare.org
