Okay, now you have a plan, but do you know how well it will work in a real
disaster situation?  It's better to find answers now than after a disaster
has occurred!
 
This workshop will:
*	Help you assess your vulnerabilities 
*	Test your plan using a scenario table top exercise
*	Explore how collaborations can help you respond to a disaster
*	Build a shared vision for regional disaster preparedness 
 
Who should attend: 
When possible, send 2-3 participants from your institution to work together
on disaster preparedness activities:   
*	Staff member(s) responsible for emergency preparedness
*	Administrator and/or manager responsible for the building/collection
*	Key members of the emergency/disaster team responsible for
decision-making
 
Requirements for attendance:
*	A written disaster plan (draft okay) that includes collections
response/recovery
*	A letter of institutional commitment to explore collaboration to
optimize preparedness
*	A completed 3-page vulnerability assessment (distributed 3 weeks
before workshop)
