[BCMA] Extreme Weather and BC Heritage Emergency Response Network Resources

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

*Extreme Weather and BC Heritage Emergency Response Network Resources*

With 68 wildfires currently burning in BC, 7 of which are out of control,
it is important to prepare your site and staff for an emergency response.
Museums, galleries, and cultural spaces have important roles to play in
keeping their staff, volunteers, and communities safe during extreme
weather events.

The BCMA has compiled a list of resources
<https://museum.bc.ca/be-prepared-for-summer-weather-events/> and calls to
action that you can use to understand the risk, prepare for these
conditions, and know where to access support.

I've attached the BC HERN 'How to Respond to an Evacuation Alert' resource
below. Explore BC HERN resources and learning opportunities here
<https://bchern.ca/emergency-cart/>.

Stay safe and hydrated!
