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.'
These sessions will be held in London on 16 January 2012 and Manchester on 7 February 2012. The sessions are led by Emma Dadson of Harwell Document Restoration Services.
