Developing a Disaster Plan (Live Online)
November 2, 2009
with mandatory follow-up
    November 9, 2009 and
    November 16, 2009
    10am - 12pm EST

    Disaster planning requires the support and commitment of staff
    from many departments, including Facilities and Accounting
    Services. Plan preparation is more successful and effective when
    undertaken by a committee with staff representatives from across
    the institution. This web-based class is designed to support the
    work of an institution's disaster planning committee. Homework
    assignments will require input and support from a variety of
    staff members. Taught in three two-hour sessions over the course
    of six weeks, it guides participants through the development of
    a written disaster plan.
