Eligibility:

• Members of NN/LM MCR who have submitted a continuity of operations plan for their library to the NN/LM Emergency Preparedness & Response Toolkit: http://nnlm.gov/ep.
• One of the first two Network members to complete and submit an application for travel subsidy. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=u3bGuEtFSlet7ncgiMUfFQ_3d_3d.

Responsibility:
