Alliance  for Response News Brief
February  - April 2012 

The  past few months have been busy ones for Alliance for  Response 
networks, and the months to come promise to be full  of meaningful activities.

Alliance for  Response Pittsburgh has been planning its  2012 schedule. The 
first of two spring programs is scheduled  for April 20 at the University 
of Pittsburgh’s Thomas  Boulevard Library Resource Facility. Participants 
will be  given a tour of Pittsburgh’s 911 Operations Center followed  by a 
group meeting. A second meeting is scheduled for May 4,  which will focus on AFR 
Pittsburgh’s shared disaster supply  cache.

AFR Pittsburgh has also launched a _Web  site_ 
(http://heritagepreservation.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=00cbcc194404641e545c4b972&id=29c76ce8a1&e=
5732b353ec)  where visitors will find information on upcoming  meetings, 
minutes from past events, and details on  membership.

The first of its kind, a statewide  meeting of Pennsylvania  Alliance for 
Response networks is scheduled  for June 6, at the State Museum of 
Pennsylvania. Through  presentations and discussion, the meeting will address  
collaborative planning, statewide disaster response, and  improved communication 
between the cultural community and  emergency responders. The meeting is free 
and open to all,  but pre-registration is required. Learn more and register

In  Atlanta, Heritage  Emergency Response Alliance (HERA) is  planning a 
spring program on April 25 at the Woodruff  Library on the Emory University 
Campus. Katy Malone of  ArtsReady.org will speak about her organization’s 
program, a  web-based emergency preparedness platform designed for arts  and 
cultural organizations. Following this presentation will  be a discussion on 
the various types of fire suppression  systems commonly used. Chris Paton, 
Archivist at the John  Bulow Campbell Library of Columbia Theological Seminary, 
 will elaborate on the FM-200 system. Staff from the Georgia  Archives and 
Emory University Libraries will also share  their experience with the Ansul 
Sapphire system. For more  information, please contact Merri Torre at 
_torrem at ctsnet.edu_ (mailto:torrem at ctsnet.edu) .

The  Seattle Heritage  Emergency Response Network (SHERN) recently  met 
with a representative from BELFOR Canada on February 24.  Marshall Oliver 
presented on his experience with major  disasters in seven parts of the  world.

Galveston–Houston  AFR has been busy planning a number of  follow-up 
activities. On April 11, the network provided  training on the Incident Command 
System followed by  discussion. On May 1, the network will offer a free 
webinar  in honor of MayDay 2012. The webinar will feature Greg  Gelberg, business 
application administrator at the J. Paul  Getty Trust. Greg will explain 
how he organized the Getty’s  extensive disaster and recovery plans using 
Atlassian, a  Wiki-style software.  He’ll provide strategies for  developing 
comprehensive plans that are scalable to any size  organization. You don’t have 
to be from Texas to join in on  this webinar. To register, click _here_

Members of the New York City  AFR attended the National Disaster Recovery  
Framework Forum on March 15 and provided members with a  summary from the 
event. In addition, the network provided  members with useful information that 
came out of the New  York Office of Emergency Management conference 
Emergency  Preparedness Strategies for Organizations in New York City.  

In Washington, DC, Heritage  Preservation proudly announced that  the  
Emergency Response and Salvage Wheel is  available as a mobile application. You 
can download the app  to your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad for free _here_ 
(http://heritagepreservation.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=00cbcc194404641
e545c4b972&id=3440be8c72&e=5732b353ec) .  Long known as the authoritative 
resource for salvaging  artifacts after a disaster, the original Wheel  has 
been used by museums, libraries, and archives around the  world. This new app 
makes the Wheel’s  invaluable guidance accessible to anyone who is in need 
of  practical advice for saving collections in the first 48  hours after a 
disaster.

right around the corner. Each  year, cultural organizations set aside May 1 
to participate  in MayDay, an initiative to protect cultural heritage from
