*BCMA Webinar: Disaster Preparedness with BC HERN*
Wednesday, November 17, 2021 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm PT Join the BCMA and the BC
Heritage Emergency Response Network for this webinar on the basics of
disaster preparedness. The BC Heritage Emergency Response Network (BC HERN)
is a consortium of people and cultural institutions from around the
province that promotes emergency preparedness, collections salvage
training, and is actively building a community of support. Collaboration
and training are especially important in these times of climate change when
natural disasters and weather extremes are impacting museums more
frequently. This one-hour webinar will be presented by two members of the
BC HERN, drawing from their experiences and expertise, to help cultural
institutions build resilience through disaster preparedness. A risk
management approach to disaster planning will be presented. Participants
will gain the tools to build their own disaster preparedness plan,
including an exploration of the museum’s vulnerabilities, creating and
leading a team, sourcing and stockpiling supplies, prioritizing collections
salvage, communicating the plan, gaining institutional buy-in, forging
community connections and support, and sustaining these efforts through
ongoing training and plan maintenance. Learn more about BC HERN on their
website: http://www.bchern.ca/.
