Do you want to know more about planning
for emergency situations? Would you like information on practical steps you
can take when responding to situations? This intensive half-day course focuses
on preparing for disaster response and salvage. The course uses experience of
responding to real incidents to demonstrate how planning can minimise the
impact of emergencies in libraries and archives. With reference to case
studies, the course includes strategies for dealing with damage, an emergency
decision-making exercise and a hands-on salvage exercise.
Previous
attendees commented that they had learnt ‘How
much there is to think about when dealing with a disaster and how to prioritise
actions.’ and ‘Importance
of preparedness. Tips for emergency kits and for small scale incidents. How to
assess what we can cope with ourselves and when to call in help.’
