On Friday, Dec. 3 at The Mariners' Museum, Newport News, VA,
          SOLINET presents a NEW one-day preservation session:

          ****************DEALING WITH DISASTERS IN MUSEUMS****************

          Museums are vulnerable to a variety of disasters, i.e., fire,
          smoke, flooding. To prevent unnecessary loss of materials museum
          staff must be prepared to handle both minor and large-scale
          emergencies by having knowledgeable staff and written plans for
          dealing with emergency situations.

          In this session museum and archives staff will learn:
             *Essential components of a disaster plan
             *Learn salvage techniques for a variety of materials
             *Develop an understanding of health and safety concerns after a
              disaster.
