Pennsylvania Cultural Resilience Network (PaCRN)
The Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts (CCAHA) is pleased
to announce the launch of the Pennsylvania Cultural Resilience Network
(PaCRN). Funded through an Institute of Museum and Library Services
National Leadership Grant, the goal of PaCRN is to create a strong
network and provide resources for effective emergency response and
recovery for cultural institutions in Pennsylvania. Training,
relationship-building, and Commonwealth-wide policy development will be
the primary focus of this two-year initiative. To start, CCAHA will
present a series of two-day disaster planning programs.
Protecting Collections: Disaster Prevention, Planning, & Response
One of the most important steps any cultural institution can take to
safeguard its collections is to be prepared in the event of an emergency
or disaster. This two-part program will guide participants in risk
mitigation, emergency planning and preparedness, response, and recovery.
By the end of the second session, participants will develop and complete
an emergency preparedness and response plan; learn how to train staff to
implement the plan effectively; set pre-and post-disaster action
priorities for collections; learn how to use practical decision-making
skills during an emergency or disaster; and have information on
salvaging a variety of materials, including books, documents, photos and
objects.
By registering for this program, attendees agree to participate in both
the first and second sessions; the two sessions are scheduled several
weeks apart in order to give attendees time to undertake several
planning assignments.
