This sounds like a very interesting topic, especially inview of current
happenings around the world...
Walter Henry ([log in to unmask]), moderator of the Consdist list
maintains a wais archive of electronically available Disaster/emergency
plans - links to this server can be picked up through our gopher and WWW
servers (155.187.10.12, ports 70 and 80 respectively). There are about
8 or so good plans available there.
I have extracted these and marked then up in html and made them
available through our WWW server
(URL = http://155.187.10.12/disaster/disaster.html) plus links to a
couple of other disaster gophers. Also available is our fire emergency
procedures and protection strategy.
If anyone else has disaster plans, please send them to Walter so they
can be added to this archive. If you do not have one yet, the
information in this archive is a very good place to start.
