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

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

an informal network of WESTPAS trained personnel to provide mutual aid in
the event of emergencies involving collections in your region.
