We have a Security/Safety officer on staff and a standing staff committee on Safety and Protection and carry out unannounced emergency drills at least once a year, sometimes twice. We have to coordinate the drill with the University's Risk Management office and police department. Its not required by any city, county or state ordinane that I'm aware of. For one drill we got a group of school kids to help us to nake sure that gallery attendants knew how to evacuate visitors from public areas of the museum. Once a month does seem a bit excessive, however. -- Mike Jacobs * Arizona State Museum * University of Arizona * Tucson, AZ 85721 tel: (520) 621-6312 * fax: (520) 621-2976 * email: [log in to unmask]
