Disaster Management Training Day
University of Dundee
Thursday May 16th 2002

Helene M Donnelly of the Data and Archival Damage Control Centre
will be presenting a one day workshop on disaster management.  The
aim is to give individuals confidence and responsibility for their
disaster plan:

    To increase confidence in making decisions and take the
    necessary preliminary actions in the event of a flood or fire
    incident and be able to share their knowledge with other staff
    members.

    To create practical procedures for damaged library/archive
    materials that will enable effective action and a better
    understanding of the health and safety issues relating to water
    borne contaminants.

    To improve the understanding of the communication needed for
    effective action.

    Ownership, input, understanding and implementation of changes to
    an existing Disaster Plan.

The day will include a "Virtual Flood Simulation".

There will be light refreshments but lunch will not be provided. The
day will begin at 9:30 am and end at 4:15 pm. Cost per participant
150.00 pounds sterling.

Course notes will be provided. Enquiries should be made to
