>Cultural and emergency response communities came

>Forum February 8, 2007, at the High Museum of 
>Art in Atlanta. A majority of participants

>The next forum in the series is scheduled for

>Philadelphia. Meanwhile, follow-up activities 
>are underway in several cities: the Atlanta 
>forum group met on March 23; New York City is 
>holding a series of fire safety workshops; and 
>in California, a second series of forums are scheduled for late April and May.

>Archives, libraries, museums, and historic

>setting aside May 1, 2007, to participate in 
>MayDay, a national effort to protect collections from disasters.

>In 2005, Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma 
>provided a wake-up call, reminding us of the 
>importance of disaster preparedness. The 
><http://heritage.pmailus.com/pmailweb/ct?d=C7DzHQAuAAEAAAHAAAEjqw>Heritage 
>Health Index, released soon after the

>of date. Given human nature, it's easy to put off disaster planning.

>The Heritage Emergency National Task Force urges 
>cultural institutions across the country to 
>observe MayDay by taking at least one step to prepare to respond to a disaster.

>In October 2006, the Heritage Emergency National 
>Task Force launched a “Lessons Applied” 
>initiative to help develop and implement 
>projects to address issues that Katrina and 
>other major storms brought to light: incentives 
>for preparedness, relations with emergency 
>responders, planning for region-wide events, 
>funding for stabilization and recovery, and 
>coordination of cultural heritage efforts. The 
>goal is to convert analysis to action.
>Five panels composed of Task Force members, 
>elected advisers from Katrina and Rita states, 
>and experts from outside the cultural field will 
>be prepared to implement at least one new 
>initiative to address these issues by June 2007. 
>They also expect to present proposals for long-term projects.
