> I am curator at a smallish university museum and we are in the
> process of developing a comprehensive Disaster Preparedness Plan.
> None of the members of the committee have ever developed a Plan
> from the ground up. Our location (on a fault line), collections
> (primarily 3-dimensional, historical items) and our status as a
> university museum have caused us quite a bit of confusion.
>
> Every resource we have been able to locate stresses two things that
> don't really pertain to us.  First, there is a real emphasis on
> knowing where utility turn-off switches are located.  Unfortunately,
> those areas are controlled and accessible only by the University
> Physical Plant.  Second, almost all of the salvage resources seem to
> deal with archival material.  The majority of our collections are
> 3-D.
>
> How have other institutions realistically dealt with these issues??
> Anyone willing to share copies of your own plan, ideas, resources,etc
> with us (reply off list and I'll get you the postal address)??  Any
> help would be appreciated.
