Subject: Resource on disaster preparedness

While there are many ways to create disaster planning documents in
all cases such documents have a critical piece that provides
resources for experts, supplies and services for disaster recovery
and mitigation.  The Disaster Preparedness website is hosted at
Michigan State University and provides vetted resources for disaster
recovery. New features at <URL:http://matrix.msu.edu/~disaster/>
include multiple state searching, state plus national resource
searching, and many additional entries that cover much of the
country.

We welcome you to use this resource, which also allows you to
download your search results to an excel file for inclusion in your
written disaster plan.  Sample disaster plans and other resources
are also on the site or provide links.

If you have resources that you feel would be a useful addition,
please consider adding them, or contact me to see about getting them
added to this website.

Partial funding for this resource was accomplished through funding
from the California Preservation Program
