[PADG:862] expanded resource for Disaster Preparedness

["Drewes, Jeanne" <drewes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Announcing an expanded resource for Disaster Preparedness. 

 While there are many ways to create disaster planning documents in all cases such documents have a critical piece that provides resources for experts, supplies and services for disaster recovery and mitigation.  The Disaster Preparedness website is hosted at Michigan State University and provides vetted resources for disaster recovery. 

 
New features at http://matrix.msu.edu/~disaster/ include
multiple state searching, state plus national resource searching,
and many additional entries that cover much of the country.  

We welcome you to use this resource, which also allows you to download your search results to an excel file for inclusion in your written disaster plan.  Sample disaster plans and other resources are also on the site or provide links. 

If you have resources that you feel would be a useful addition, please consider adding them, or contact me to
see about getting them added to this website. 

 Partial funding for this updated and much improved resource was accomplished through
funding from the California Preservation Program.  http://calpreservation.org/
