Presented by the Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts
May 14 & June 25, 2015
Providence, RI
Hosted and co-sponsored by:
Museum of Art,
Rhode Island School of Design
One of the most important steps a 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.
The two sessions are scheduled several weeks apart, in order to give attendees time to undertake several planning assignments. Participants will be asked to prepare a short assignment prior to the program and additional assignments between the sessions.
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.
* Have information on salvaging a variety of materials including books, documents, photos, and objects.
This program is intended for administrators and staff responsible for emergency preparedness, response, and decision-making in cultural institutions. By registering for the program, the institution commits to supporting the attendee(s) to achieve the program's disaster preparedness goals.
This is a two-part program. 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.
