Joint academic cultural and environmental disaster preparation and management website | 07.13.2007 | 09:05:25 | Views: 6127 | ID: July 13 '07: The Disaster Mitigation Planning Assistance website was begun as a cooperative effort between the National Endowment for the Humanities and a database resource called Hypatia to help museums, libraries, historical societies and archives prepare for disasters. The site is a joint project of the Michigan State Libraries, the Center for Great Lakes Culture and the California Preservation Program. The site also provides a list of resources and examples of best practices to help prepare art, library and archival collections against the threat of a disaster. On the site, there is also a search menu that allows the user "to search by state, multiple states nationally or by type of service, expert or supply."
