["Bettina Detweiler-Blakely" <LIBBDB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Isn't this the same one we were looking at from the solinet pamphlet last week and decided it wasn't worth going to?

          New Strategies for Regional Disaster Mitigation and Response 
               
          A preservation conference presented by SOLINET Wednesday, April       

          28, 1999, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM at the Sheraton Colony Square Hotel, 
          Atlanta, Georgia
               
               
          Supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the 
          Humanities.
               
               
          This conference provides a forum for issues in regional disaster 
          preparedness and response. The goal is to provide participants with a 
          framework for planning disaster response in their communities, 
          including information about relevant state, regional, and national 
          resources available to assist in planning and response.  Case studies 
          from a variety of perspectives offer practical information on 
          responding to disasters affecting large areas. A special focus is 
          FEMA's (Federal Emergency Management Agency) Project Impact, designed 
          to break the cycle of disaster-rebuilding-disaster by emphasizing 
          preparation/prevention, such as building safer buildings, 
          strengthening existing infrastructures, and developing and  
          maintaining detailed disaster response plans. Collaborative  
          strategies are an important element of the approach. Conference 
          speakers are: Darryl Barksdale, Planner and Grant Administrator, 
          Georgia State Historic Preservation Office; Hilary A. Kaplan, 
          Conservator, Georgia Department of Archives and History and 
          Director, Southeast Regional Conservation Association (SERCA); John 
          Ketchum, Program Coordinator, FEMA;  Kent Kocher, Local Government 
          Assistance Coordinator, Mississippi Department of Archives & History; 
          Lynn Wampler, City Administrator for Fayetteville, Tennessee, a 
          Project Impact Community; Jane Long, Director, National Task Force on 
          Emergency Response, Heritage Preservation; Frank Willis, Mayor of 
          Florence, South Carolina, a Project Impact Community.
