Dear Colleagues, Disaster preparedness & recovery is a team effort: visitor safety, collections care, public relations, and business operations. The Heritage Health Index found that over 80% of collecting institutions are not adequately prepared for disaster. Is yours one of them? Join experts in the field for a 90-minute live webinar covering low-cost, practical tips for emergency preparedness, a discussion of cooperative disaster networks, and lessons learned from emergency response teams. With hurricane season almost here, this webinar is a great opportunity for your staff and colleagues in your community to discuss & plan together! New AAM webinar!
