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. Lana Newhart-Kellen Registrar Conner Prairie >>> [log in to unmask] 06/30/03 11:23AM >>> 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 ===== Kimberly A.
