"Disaster Response Q&A"
May 1, 2015

    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

        <URL:http://alcts.ala.org/ce/0609_10_disaster_response.wmv>
