Next, 13 key points to consider when writing a disaster preparedness plan for a laboratory will be discussed. With these 13 practical points, attendees will walk away from this webinar with all the information they need to write their own disaster preparedness plans and to protect their labs, samples, animals, and data should a disaster strike. Finally, lessons learned from the COVID-19 crisis that will now become permanent parts of any good, laboratory disaster plan will be discussed.
