In honor of May Day, the Library of Congress Preservation Directorate and FLICC have sponsored a model mutual disaster assistance charter as an aid to librarians on collaborating with other institutions to prepare for and cope with disasters. May Day is an initiative of the Heritage Emergency National Task Force which encourages archives, libraries, museums, and historic preservation organizations across America to do something to help protect their collections from disaster on May 1st.
