Description: An emergency preparedness plan is a crucial document for any collecting institution, yet they are often not in place because the writing seems like such a large and complex task. In this day long workshop, we will break down the components of emergency planning and show you how to write your own plan. We will also discuss disaster response and allow you to practice handling wet archival materials in a mock salvage exercise. You will leave equipped to safeguard your own collections against disasters large and small.
