Unanticipated disasters quickly remind us of the vulnerability of our collections and the responsibility of cultural institutions to preserve collections for future generations. This program will focus on the value of emergency preparedness and the major components of an emergency plan. Topics to be covered in this session include the disaster planning process, hazard identification and mitigation, initial response activities, supplies to have on hand, health and safety concerns, and staff training needs.
