Description:

Every museum needs to be prepared for fires, floods, chemical spills, 
tornadoes, hurricanes and other disasters. But surveys show 80 percent 
lack trained staff, emergency-preparedness plans for their collections, 
or both. Disaster Plan Research and Writing begins with the creation of 
disaster-preparedness teams, the importance of ongoing planning, 
employee safety, board participation and insurance. Participants will 
learn everything they need to draft their own disaster-preparedness 
plans. They also will be required to incorporate colleagues in 
team-building exercises. A written disaster-preparedness plan is not 
only a good idea, it's also a requirement for accreditation. In the 
second half of the course, instructor Terri Schindel reviews and 
provides input as participants write plans that outline the procedures 
to follow in various emergencies. The completed plan prepares museums 
physically and mentally to handle emergencies that can harm vulnerable 
and irreplaceable collections. You will have a completed institutional 
disaster-preparedness and response plan at the end of the course. Once 
completed with this course, we recommend the Disaster Preparation and 
Recovery course taught by Helen Alten to provide more information about 
staff organization and management during and after a disaster.
