<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
We had a bit of a Forest Fire scare yesterday and we're still on high alert as the fire is only 6 kms from our Museum. We've been working on an emergency plan but haven't gotten too far into it yet. I am wondering if anyone has any checklists or resources we
can borrow to help us be as prepared as possible. <o:p></o:p></p>
