Rapid Response Network Training Programme
Emergency Planning
Millennium Gallery, Sheffield
Tuesday 13 April 2010
Trainer: Emma Dadson, Harwell Document Restoration Services
Your organisation may have a disaster plan but how many people actually
know how to implement it? Have you had a run-through to check its
effectiveness? Could it contend with every possibility, from a minor incident to
a major fire or flood? Do all the people who work in your building understand
why fast reaction to water damage is so important?
This is an intensive one-day course that will equip participants with all the
tools necessary either to write an emergency plan for their institution for the
first time, or to review an existing plan so that it is thoroughly up to date.
Exercises throughout the day will provide opportunities for participants to fast-
track elements of their plan. Hard and soft copy handouts, together with a
template plan will be available.
