MayDay, MayDay, MayDay!
A post from guest blogger, Sarah Hudson, Project Assistant for Protecting the Past – RI.
Protecting the Past – RI is joining the effort to encourage libraries, museums, archives, historical societies and preservation organizations to set aside May 1, 2013 to participate in MayDay, a national effort to prepare for disaster.
This MayDay, Protecting the Past – RI will be offering emergency preparedness resource binders to cultural heritage organizations throughout Rhode Island. These binders, valued at $50, provide information about planning for, mitigating against, and recovering from disaster. They are available at no cost to Rhode Island’s cultural heritage organizations because of support from an Institute of Museum and Library Services Connecting to Collections grant. Please contact Theresa Woodmansee at 401.253.1619 or Sarah Hudson at 401.952.4374 to reserve your copy today. Quantities are limited.
Take time on May 1st to:
- review your institution’s insurance policy,
- update your disaster plan,
- or hold a fire drill.
A disaster can strike anytime. Completing even one MayDay activity will help ensure that your organization is prepared.

Protecting the Past – RI is funded by a grant to the Rhode Island Office of Library and Information Services (OLIS) from the Institute of Museum and Library Services as part of the Connecting to Collection: Statewide Planning and Implementation Grant program.
