of the Emergency Preparedness Initiative Response to 2005 hurricanes and other disastersThe CoSA Emergency Preparedness Initiative was developed in response to the devastating hurricanes of 2005. CoSA leaders visited Mississippi and Louisiana in September and November of that year. In April 2006, CoSA convened a "Hurricane Conference" that focused not only on what states in the southeastern U.S. could do to prepare for the next emergency, but what ALL state archives and records management programs must do to protect archives and records in their states.
