EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS TRAINING
NOW AVAILABLE
The Secretary of State, State Archives Division, and the State Department of General Services, Records and Information Management unit (CalRIM), have partnered with the Council of State Archivists (CoSA) to offer emergency preparedness webinar training for California government agencies. Under the Intergovernmental Preparedness for Essential Records (IPER) project, two webinars and one on-line recorded program are available free of charge. They are intended for employees and government officials of both state and local governments that are responsible for the creation, maintenance, access, and use of public records in California.
Here are the courses that are available or will be offered in the near future:
Introduction to Records and Information Management <http://rc.statearchivists.org/Content/IPER-Courses/Introduction-to-Records-and-Information-Management.aspx> (pre-recorded)
This 90-minute narrated presentation is available online. It focuses on the practices fundamental to the efficient and economical operations of any organization. When disasters strike, organizations with effective records and information management programs are more likely to be able to access essential records and resume critical business operations quickly.
