Though September was National Preparedness Month, disasters are something that we
always need to be prepared for, whether for ourselves, a society we belong to
or an institution. We all have in our
possession invaluable items of historical and genealogical relevance.
A disaster can
strike at any time and come in many guises.
Lisa Louise Cooke (Genealogy Gems) recently did a series on this topic:
She gives a lot of
great advice in short digestible chunks.
A few other neat
resources on this topic are:
- Save Your Stuff Blog (I found this an interesting
collection of articles regarding conservation which also has relevance to
preservation if a disaster were to strike)
A key element of
all of this great information is that the time to prepare for a disaster or
emergency is BEFORE it
strikes. During or after such an event
is “too little too late!”
Living in an area
prone to hurricanes, never mind other weather-related challenges, it only took
the first hurricane to really really appreciate how quickly a disaster can
strike.
Do you have any tips or additional resources we should know about?
