_Get Prepared with MayDay 2011!_
_Cultural institutions take simple steps to prepare for emergencies_
Join libraries, museums, archives, and arts and historic preservation
organizations across the nation in setting aside May 1, 2011, to participate
in MayDay, a national effort to prepare for disasters. Sponsored by Heritage
Preservation and other members of the Heritage Emergency National Task
Force, MayDay encourages organizations to take one simple step to protect
the art, artifacts, records, and historic sites they hold in trust.

Any organization can participate in MayDay. Last year, staff at Lycoming
College’s Snowden Library in Williamsport, PA, invited the college’s
Director of Safety and Security to come talk to the staff about fire safety,
the North Carolina State Archives took staff on a walk through of their
vaults while reviewing emergency response procedures, and the Jewish
Historical Society of the Upper Midwest in Minneapolis, MN, created a
special page on their Web site for staff use in case of an emergency.

Visit [2]Heritage Preservation's MayDay pages for project ideas, information
on this year's prize drawing and publications sale, and customized versions
of the MayDay logo for publicizing this national event.
