<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;">So, you took the first step last week on completing your organization’s
<a href="http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/OHC/docs/OC2C%20Prep%20Plan.doc">Pocket Response Plan</a>.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;">
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;">Here are this week’s assignments:</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;">2. Identify your response team members and their contact information.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;">On initial thought, you might think these could be the same people. However, it helps to have two teams. Disaster team members are generally people who can respond immediately and stop further damage
from taking place. Response team members may not be able to respond as rapidly. They will be the people who begin the cleanup as your organization recovers.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;">Disaster team members may be exhausted by the time recovery begins, so it helps to have a fresh recovery team.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;">A few minutes of effort today to begin creating a
<a href="http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/OHC/docs/OC2C%20Prep%20Plan.doc" target="_blank">
Pocket Response Plan (PREP)</a> will begin to qualify your organization for an incentive payment from the Connecting to Collections Project. Oregon Heritage will be right there working with you along the way.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;">Here’s how it works. Every week for six weeks, Oregon Heritage News sends you a section or two of the PREP to complete. Each segment takes just a few minutes to fill in with information you already
have in your museum, library or archive. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;">At the end of six weeks, you will have finished a PREP and that qualifies you for a financial incentive from the Oregon Connecting to Collections project, funded in part by the Institute of Museum
and Library Services. For more information, <a href="mailto:mike.gushard@oregon.gov">
