May 1st - Disaster Response Q&A
Once a disaster strikes, the knee-jerk reaction is to rush in and save
everything, but racing in without advance planning puts collections at risk of
more damage and staff at risk of injury. This session will feature a live
question-and-answer session. Participants will have an opportunity to comment
on the recording of the 2010 webinar, "Disaster Response" and to ask questions
of Nancy Kraft.
