Preparing for a Disaster: Writing and Updating a Comprehensive
Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Response Plan for Cultural
Collections

    This is a special, one-day disaster plan writing workshop held
    in conjunction with the Wisconsin Federation of Museums. A MACC
    Preservation Specialist will discuss all aspects of writing a
    Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Response Plan specifically
    for collections. You'll receive: practical instruction on
    writing a plan outline for your cultural institution; relevant
    articles on disaster topics; and examples of other Disaster
    Plans. You'll learn response priorities and how to best deal
    with the different types of disasters that could affect your

    important collection care measure your institution ever takes.
