Okay, now you have a plan, but do you know how well it will work in a real
disaster situation?
It's better to find answers now than after a disaster has occurred!
This workshop will:
• Help you assess your vulnerabilities
• Test your plan using a scenario table top exercise
• Explore how collaborations can help you respond to a disaster
• Build a shared vision for regional disaster preparedness
Who should attend:
When possible, send 2-3 participants from your institution to work together
on disaster
preparedness activities:
• Staff member(s) responsible for emergency preparedness
• Administrator and/or manager responsible for the building/collection
• Key members of the emergency/disaster team responsible for decision-making
Requirements for attendance:
• A written disaster plan (draft okay) that includes collections
response/recovery
• A letter of institutional commitment to explore collaboration to optimize
preparedness
• A completed 3-page vulnerability assessment (distributed 3 weeks before
workshop)
Cost: No fee; just your time, energy, and institutional commitment.
Funding provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
