[Libs-Or] Emergency Preparedness Training survey

[Mary Kristen Kern]

The Oregon State Library is working with the Western States andTerritories
Preservation Assistance Service, WESTPAS, to identify potential changes to
enhance its workshop offerings on developing disaster response and salvage
plans.  A short survey has been developed which asks for input on different
delivery models.



WESTPAS offers free(grant-funded) workshops on developing disaster response
and salvage plans for collections in heritage institutions. The workshops
are two days in length; the first day and the second day are separated by
4-6weeks to provide time to prepare a very basic draft plan between
workshop days.  Oregon has held these workshops several times at different
locations throughout the state.  While attendees have found them quite
helpful,it is getting more difficult to travel and make the time
commitments required in the original delivery model.



WESTPAS is proposing to create an alternative workshop model. The first
"day" of the workshop would be a short series of webinars, at the end of
which participants would draft very basic disaster response plans. The
second day would be an in-person event to review draft plans and to get
experience handling wet materials to be salvaged, something quite hard to
do in a webinar!


Prior to undertaking development, WESTPAS needs feedback on this proposed
workshop model. If you or someone from your institution is interested in
creating a disaster response plan for your institution,please take two
minutes to respond to the questions at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/westpas~
the survey will close on May 20, 2012.
