You can get your Vital/Essential records programs into good shape during the month of April.  The National Archive and Records Administration's Northeast Region is offering 2 excellent opportunities for comprehensive, task-oriented training based on recordkeeping requirements contained in  FEMA's Continuity of Operations requirements. 
FEMA has released a new directive guiding development of the COOP planning process that highlights the need for agencies to consider the vital/essential records they will need to continue to effectively operate during a disaster or emergency.  NARA takes the lead in developing guidance and training to help agencies identify, protect and make accessible these critical records.
