The day is meant to remind heritage organizations to be prepared for a disaster and to take the initiative to plan some activities that may help their organizations in the event of an emergency. If an organization needs assistance with preparing an emergency preparedness plan they are encouraged to contact the State Historical Society-Archives at 605-773-3804 or archref@state.sd.us. “Preparing an emergency preparedness plan or training staff to respond to different scenarios may seem daunting, but dedicating a little time on May 1 may make a difference if an emergency does happen,” said Chelle (pronounced SHELL-ee) Somsen, South Dakota state archivist. “Examples VERMILLION, S.D. - The South Dakota Department of Transportation has closed the Interstate 29 Homestead rest area near Vermillion Exit 26 for the reconstruction of the rest area and welcome center. Officials expect the new rest area and welcome center to open by April 2019. JLG Architects is the designer and Beckenhauer Construction, Inc. is the prime contractor on this $3.7 million rest area reconstruction project. For more information on the state’s Rest Area Revitalization Plan, you can find the complete document at: http://www.sddot.com/resources/reports/InterstateRestAreaFinalReport.pdf of activities that can be done on May Day include updating the contact list for staff, checking to make sure the fire extinguishers and smoke detectors are working, surveying the building for risks or conducting a disaster drill.” On May Day, the State Archives staff will update their response plans and check the batteries on their flashlights to ensure they are working correctly. State Historical Society staff are updating the emergency preparedness plan to correct any outdated information. “These are actions that we can take without the whole process becoming overwhelming,” Somsen said. For more information, contact the State Historical Society-Archives at 605-773-3804 or archref@state.sd.us. State Archives hours are 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. CDT Monday-Friday and the first Saturday of most months. Gov.
