Digital Event

Event details

Mountain Time (MT)

The Regional Heritage Stewardship Program is an initiative of the Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Its Intermountain West regional program is conducted in partnership with the Utah Division of Arts & Museums’ Office of Museum Services and Utah Humanities.

CCAHA is committed to providing universal access to our programs. Advance notice is necessary to arrange for some accessibility needs; please contact Stephenie Bailey, by email at sbailey@ccaha.org or by phone 215-545-0613 ext 314, at least seven days prior to the start of this event to make specific arrangements.

In this virtual program, participants will explore the importance of an Emergency Preparedness Plan and begin the process of developing their own pocket response plan.

In the first portion of the program, presenters will review the key elements of a plan and review resources specific to the Intermountain West region. Together, presenters and participants will explore sample plans and existing templates in order to understand how to best approach writing a plan of their own.

In the second portion of the program, participants will be broken up into working groups to begin completing the Council of State Archivists Pocket Response Plan (PReP). Ideally, participants will establish a small community of practice to support the completion of the plan after the workshop.

Participants will be advised to review the RHSP Intermountain West webinar on Introduction to Emergency Planning & Risk Assessment prior to the program. Participants will also be sent sample plans and a CoSA Pocket Response Plan (PReP) to review.

This program is intended for preservation and collections staff in the Intermountain West region of the United States. For those outside of this region, please visit ccaha.org/events to find a full listing of our programs.
