Our historical center moved to a building located directly on Charlotte Harbor (Florida Gulf), necessitating an update in our emergency preparedness plan. I'm researching general information (sample plans, etc.) specific to museums with artifact collections. Most of the information I'm finding, esp. on the AAM website, is specific to libraries and art museums. Can anyone offer suggestions for good sources on the web (or offer their own disaster plan as an example?). My primary concern is thunderstorm and hurricane damage. With thanks, Lori Tomlinson, Division Manager Charlotte County Historical Center 22959 Bayshore Road Charlotte Harbor, FL 33980 [log in to unmask] Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster.
