The Regional Alliance for Preservation provides information and resources on preservation and conservation for cultural institutions and the public throughout the United States.
Description: The focus of this two-hour class is to outline the key actions that administrators need to employ to coordinate an effective and efficient response to a disaster. Because a broken pipe will be handled very differently than a major flood, response procedures are discussed according to the severity of the disaster. Other topics included are the components of emergency management, managing staff during and after a disaster, working with vendors and contractors, sources of federal and statewide assistance, and strategies for cooperating with other institutions to facilitate recovery.
