Hello Brittany,

I am glad to hear your museum is okay and hope the fire situation around Golden begins to improve.

The Alberta Museums Association has a number of free resources online for emergency and disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. These customizable templates are available on our website (link below) include an emergency plan template developed specifically for museums and historic sites. There is also an option to purchase the 2nd edition of our HELP! Emergency Preparedness Manual for Museums if you want to go deeper into this topic.

Hi everyone,

We had a bit of a Forest Fire scare yesterday and we're still on high alert as the fire is only 6 kms from our Museum. We've been working on an emergency plan but haven't gotten too far into it yet. I am wondering if anyone has any checklists or resources we can borrow to help us be as prepared as possible.

Also if anybody knows of any emergency preparedness workshops, grants, etc, please let me know. We've attended the BC HERN Emergency Salvage workshop, and we're ready for the aftermath of the worst case scenario.

Thank you!
