Thank you to everyone who attended last week's PALMCOP/SCAA Hands-on Disaster Recovery Workshop! A big thank you to Francis Marion University for hosting this event.
In light of recent flooding in Texas and Oklahoma, this is a perfect time to talk about some of the resources out there for disaster preparedness and recovery. Last week on Facebook we shared a story about how the University of Texas at Austin's School of Information is assisting flood victims in salvaging their family treasures and are planning to host salvage workshops.
The Library of Congress also has resources available for anything from emergency preparedness to preservation. These resources can be found on their Preservation page, http://www.lo c.gov/preservation/ .
The Society of American Archivists (SAA) have recently created a page on their website for Disaster Recovery Resources. These resources include Disaster Recovery Vendors, Funding, and Training. They are definitely worth exploring and can be found at http://www2.archivists.org/groups/regional-archival-associations-consortium-raac/disaster-recovery-resources.
These are just a few of the resources available out there.
