Emergency response and salvage


1.     An app that I ran across on the Internet, and later investigate on apple store is a new app called the emergency response and salvage. This app is available on smart phones and computers and gives an overview on how to plan for a disaster occurring in a museum collection or archive. This app have features that allows response teams to be formed, as well as delegating specific tasks in the even of a natural or man mad disaster. One of the most detrimental details of disasters is that a planning guide may not be available. However with this new technology, all staff and volunteers can be well equipped for such a situation. I believe this is yet another example in which technology is helping public historians better do their jobs. This advancement would ensure that somehow a disaster plan could be accessed no matter the circumstance. This quick and efficient respond will result in batter care for the collection at risk.
