Hello!

Last year I held our first Emergency Preparedness
Workshop for staff and volunteers.  It was mandatory
for staff and offered to volunteers.  We had a pretty
good turn out.  I announced that we would be reviewing
the Plan every August.

Now, here is my question.

What can I add to the workshop so that those who came
last year will feel compelled to come again this year?
 Staff doesn't have a choice, but I want the
volunteers -- especially our docents -- to revisit the
Plan annually.  Even though staff must come, I would
still like to add something so they aren't bored too.

Last year I did a Power Point with photos of disasters
(museums and libraries that were damaged by floods,
earthquakes, etc.), lists of potential emergencies, a
map of exits and fire extinguisher locations, the
primary and alternate exit routes for the entire
building, basic emergency procedures for the
collection, etc.

Is there something you've done that I could add to my
presentation so that this year's workshop is not a
re-run of last year?

Thanks!
Kim
