Emergency preparedness is important not only to be ready for large- scale disasters, like fire or flood, but for more common, small-scale problems as well.  Most libraries and archives are forced to deal with a number of small emergencies affecting parts of their collection each year - incidents such as a pipe leak or break, vandalism, or extreme temperature and humidity levels when the air conditioner or heating system fails for a period of time.  In one incident, related by a workshop participant, the flat roof of a building in which archival material was stored had accumulated too much snow and caved in.  No one had thought of shoveling off some of the snow ahead of time (which could have been part of their Disaster Preparedness Plan).  One segment of the class was a tour of the new facility in which class participants did a risk assessment of the building for areas of vulnerability.  This class raised awareness of issues in caring for Sandia's historic photo collections and other records.
