The Disaster ACT Network announces the next of its regular Disaster
Recovery Workshops. 
NB: you may have received this email as a representative of a cultural
heritage organisation (eg ASA, ALIA, RMAA, AICCM etc).  If so, can you
please forward it to your own members? Thank you.
Over the past few years, disaster awareness and planning has become a
high priority in policy development for cultural institutions and their
governing agencies. Documents such as the ANAO audit on the safeguarding
of collections have focussed organisations on their responsibility to
assess and manage risks to those collections and thereby ensure the
continuity of their operations. 
The two-day training course has been designed to assist those who are
responsible for disaster planning for cultural collections; 
*       to develop and maintain disaster plans 
*       to prevent or reduce the risk and impact of disasters and 
*       to coordinate disaster response and recovery actions. 
There will be a maximum of 20 participants drawn from the full spectrum
of cultural collecting agencies. Participants will experience disaster
scenarios and deal with the recovery of affected materials. 
The presenter will be Kim Morris, Director of Art and Archival Pty Ltd.
Kim has 22 years experience in the field of paper conservation that
includes considerable time working in large national cultural
institutions based in Canberra. His areas of expertise include paper
conservation, preventive conservation, disaster planning for cultural
collections, and education and training. 
When:           Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th November 2007, 9am to
4.30pm 
Where:          CIT Bruce Campus, Day 1 location Room C10.  Meet at the
