Celebrate MayDay 2012 

Do one simple thing
Heritage Preservation and  other members of the Heritage Emergency National 
Task Force  are encouraging libraries, museums, archives, historical  
societies, and preservation organizations to participate in  _MayDay_ 
(http://heritagepreservation.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=00cbcc194404641e545c4b972
&id=3003c31676&e=2209f40f73) ,  a national effort to prepare for disasters. 
Severe damage by  this year’s tornadoes is a reminder that it is essential 
to  have a plan for when emergencies strike. Set aside some time  this May 
to do one simple thing to become more  prepared.

How  to participate
Any organization can participate in  MayDay. Last year, staff at the 
Newport Restoration  Foundation in Newport, Rhode Island, hosted a dialog between  
50 cultural heritage and emergency managers that focused on  emergency 
preparedness. In Texas, the Wolf Creek Heritage  Museum instructed museum staff 
and volunteers on how to  operate its fire extinguishers. For more ideas and 
to see  what past participants have done, visit the _MayDay  Web site_
