Hello to you all
For a truly current disaster preparedness and response position, many
heritage and cultural organisations in the state of Victoria in Australia
(capital city, Melbourne) are in the throes of this right now.
The state is overwhelmed by bushfires in many locations, and there are a
number of coordinated and individual actions to assist wherever possible.
Museums Australia, our version of the AAM, in conjunction with other sister
associations, flagship institutions and government bodies has provided
responses on a number of levels, including the state branch's website at
http://www.mavic.asn.au/
It includes references for a number of museum workers and organisations who
have offered their services to museums and collecting organisations affected
by the fires, both in advance and after the events.
Our land can be hot and dry, and terribly cruel sometimes.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Disaster preparednees after sept 11
Hi,
I am doing some research on disaster planning for museum collections.
I was wondering if any institutions saw a change in their plan as a
result of 911. Did some museums not have one and then adopted one as a
result? Did museum policies for disaster planning change with the
possibility of terrorists threats now posed because of 911?
I just wanted to see if anyone has any information on the subject.
thank you
