How about brining in people who specialize in certian types of emergencies, i.e. firefighter, police officer, local emergency management, conservator, etc. who can talk about their jobs, how they handle their emergencies and what they expect from your staff in the way of cooperation.

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
