***Planning for the Unexpected: Daily Challenges to Collections Emergencies
Panel Discussion July 29 at 2:00 p.m. ET***

Identifying and planning for hazards to collections is often done through
the risk assessment process. However, we have seen the culmination of a
pandemic, protests, weather emergencies, and more affect museums and
cultural sites. These crises have prompted changes in emergency planning or
the additions of new sections into our Preparedness and Response Plans.

Please join the ARCS Emergency Sub-Committee and industry experts to
discuss adapting to the ever growing list of collection challenges and
emergencies, embracing the fundamentals of planning for emergencies,
all-hazard procedures, understanding scenario-based risk assessments,
working within your existing plan, and adjusting to evolving industry
standards. We will also hear case studies from those who have successfully
adapted their emergency plans to the current hazards and risks affecting
museums and cultural sites.
