Together we can develop a more efficient system of information retrieval. Archivists are providing only part of that protection if they do not develop a comprehensive disaster plan for their collections. This session will examine how to evaluate potential risks, what steps to take to mitigate the possibility of a disaster, how to develop a disaster plan, and how to respond in the event of a disaster. There are many wonderful restaurants within walking distance of Buffalo State College. Info available at the Registration Desk.
