Elizabeth and Carrie are correct.  We have learned a great deal about
our vital records practices from the tragedy of Katrina.  In addition to
the accessibility of duplicate records they already discussed, I've also
noted that the old procedures of disaster recovery based on getting to
damaged records within 24 - 48 hours just does not apply.  Too many
folks were not able or not allowed to access damaged records for up to 6
weeks following the event.  Established salvage and recovery tasks based
on the old procedures just do not work under those conditions.
