[BCMA] Emergency Preparedness Resources

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hi Brittany,

Hope that the fire gets under control and calms down. I was looking online
for a pdf booklet on emergency preparedness that we used at a museum I
worked at a few years back. I couldn’t find it again, but found this
resource instead. Perhaps it will be useful and more succinct:

Best wishes.
