Course Information

A course designed for managers, operational supervisors and other responsible officers in cultural institutions that do not currently have a disaster response plan, or that wish to update an existing disaster response plan. The course presents a strategic approach to developing an effective disaster response plan and sets the plan in the context of practical risk management.  A broken water pipe can cause as much damage to a valuable cultural collection as a serious flood or cyclone.  Is your organisation prepared?

Outcomes

Participants will leave with an action plan for developing a disaster response plan or for updating an existing plan without compromising their preparedness.

Topics covered

• Planning to plan
• Identifying significant collections and the services they support
• Procedures and information essential for effective and timely response and recovery from a disaster
• Elements of a Disaster Response Plan

Who should attend?

This workshop is recommended for managers, operational supervisors and staff responsible for cultural collections in libraries, museums, art galleries and archives.
