************************************************************************

The “Protecting Cultural Collections” training is presented in a sequence of two archived webinars plus one in-person workshop
to produce the following outcomes:

 *  Complete a disaster response & collection salvage plan
 *  Learn how to train staff to implement your plan effectively
 *  Set pre- and post-disaster action priorities for your collections
 *  Understand practical decision-making skills needed during an emergency
 *  Experience salvage procedures for books, documents, photos & objects



The webinar sessions and the in-person workshop are scheduled to enable participants to prepare short assignments between
sessions, resulting in a completed disaster plan. Participating institutions will be invited to join an informal network of
WESTPAS trained personnel to provide mutual aid in the event of emergencies involving collections in your region.
