Disaster Plan Workshops

 

Writing Your Disaster Plan: 24 January 2017 (General Register House, Edinburgh)

Testing Your Disaster Plan: 2 March 2017 (Thomas Thomson House, Edinburgh)

 

The Scottish winter is no stranger to inclement weather, so we are delighted to be able to offer two practical, half-day workshops, on ensuring that your buildings and records are secure from fire and flood.

 

Delivered by Emma Dadson of Harwell, January’s session will give you insight into writing your disaster plan and advice on what to consider. Then in March, things will get a little more hands-on (and wet) as you put your plan into action with a practical session held within the National Records of Scotland’s conservation department.

 

Given the nature of this training it may be useful for you to attend alongside a colleague, as the exercises will encourage you to think specifically about your own collection.

 

Each workshop will run twice each day, so you can select from the morning or afternoon session. Morning sessions will run from 10:00 to 13:00, and the afternoon sessions, 13:45 to 16:30. Lunch will be available for attendees of both sessions from 13:00 to 13:45.

 

Cost: Each session is £10 for SCA Members (£12 for non-members), or £15 (£20 for non-members) for both workshops.
