When all is said and done, a lot [of us] will be examining this for lessons learned in terms of disaster planning. Things you normally don't think of (e.g. loss of important records)... such as last night I was listening on AM radio station from LA, around 10 cst, to education official from LA telling teachers from affected parrishes to report to other parrishes if they could, that they would work to restore their pay records, not to worry about loss of certification files, but just try to get back in and teach where and when possible.
FoxNews - gunshots in SuperDome in last 1/2 hour . . .
I was thinking about this this morning (loss of records)...but where would one put these documents? the banks (safe deposits) are gone...if not, unable to be located....where could one put records? if a whole town is gone?
I just don't know....what would/could one do for this kind of disaster...to keep records safe....but where would they be safe?
If memory serves, ALL vital records (birth an death certificates) for the state of La. are kept in New Orleans for the past 80 or 90 years. How's that for an additonal mess? (statewide).
