Wildfires, floods, and destructive storms are becoming common events, adding to the known risk of earthquakes. Our best line of defense is emergency preparedness, training and response. The British Columbia Heritage Emergency Response Network (BC HERN) is a growing consortium of institutions within the arts and culture sector whose staff feel morally and professionally obliged to safeguard the collections that they hold by adequately planning for emergency situations as well as to support others in the event of localized emergencies.
Join our team of experts for this 2-day hands-on workshop that provides training and guidance on emergency response and collections salvage (mixed and archival materials) and is targeted at museum/gallery professionals, keepers of cultural heritage, and volunteers from small cultural institutions with little to no training in responding to emergencies.
Workshop goals
Workshop agenda
Both workshop days will include coffee breaks and lunch, and time to get to know the BC HERN team and your fellow workshop participants.
You will learn about the anatomy of an emergency, explained through detailed scenarios to understand roles and responsibilities for your initial response. There will be demonstrations and theoretical presentations on health (physical and mental), safety, and salvage techniques for responders. Both workshop days will feature hands-on exercises to develop a response plan, learn to assess the situation and execute the salvage process. You will leave the workshop equipped with knowledge, practical experience, resources, and the tools to support the creation of your emergency plan and response team in your own institution.
