<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;">Many people get seriously injured because they don't know what to do (or not do) during an earthquake. Advance training is your best protection during an earthquake, and for surviving
the aftermath. The Oregon Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is asking Oregonians to register for<span class="apple-converted-space">
<a href="http://shakeout.org/oregon/" target="_blank">2014 Great Oregon ShakeOut earthquake drill</a></span>. Participants will practice how to Drop, Cover, and Hold at 10:16 a.m., Oct. 16 during Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills across the nation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;">Participating is a great way for your heritage organization to prepared, survive and recover quickly from big earthquakes. Earthquakes are a serious threat to Oregon – both offshore
like the Japanese earthquake and tsunami in 2011, and onshore like the recent event in California’s Napa Valley. They can strike at any time. Prepare now, have an emergency plan for earthquakes, and build an emergency kit as part of your disaster preparedness
plan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">During the 1930s and 1940s, the Federal government created a program to document the every-day lives of Americans. The Library of Congress
houses the resulting photographic images and many are now available for online viewing. Hundreds of these images show Oregon during the Great Depression and World War II. The online finding aids include

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;">Earlier this year, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) began an effort to count every museum in the United States. It recently released a data file online that
shows 35,144 museums. IMLS would like to make sure it has listed all museums accurately. Has IMLS accurately listed your museum? Reviewing the data will only take a few minutes at the
<a href="http://www.imls.gov/research/museum_universe_data_file.aspx">IMLS website</a>. The site allows you to download and review the file in Excel (5.8 MB) or CSV (2.5 MB) – and you can report corrections to

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Garamond, serif;">In December the agency will release an updated list of museums, and hopes to include museums that do not appear in the current data file. Reviewing the list will also enable the
agency to remove duplicate listings and learn about museums that are no longer active.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
