What a Disaster!
Workshop and Program: We use the words lightly, but think for a moment and
ask yourself if you're ready when a disaster strikes. Do you know what to
save; what to leave behind? Can you get your business started up again
immediately and smoothly with all the documentation you need? Are you
prepared to work with no power? Can you salvage damaged documents? What if
you have to relocate?
These are just a few of the questions that arise when we think about
Disaster Preparedness (workshop) and Disaster Recovery (program). Of
course, there's an entire industry built around this topic, but what about
the records? They often get only cursory attention, but are the foundation
for rebuilding after - and during - a disaster. Come hear Leslie Malek
speak about vital records programs, prioritization of salvage efforts, basic
techniques for salvage and recovery, and more.

Music at Pacific Lutheran University and has a Master of Music from the
