Does your organization have a written Emergency and Disaster Preparedness, Response, and Recovery Plan to help assess and manage risk, protect human life, and recover from natural and man-made disasters? In this webinar, we will discuss the importance of having such a plan, the basics of creating one, and what to do with it once it is created.

Learning Outcomes

After attending this webinar participants will be able to

  • explain the need for an emergency and disaster preparedness plan;
  • outline next steps to create an emergency and disaster preparedness plan for their organization;
  • identify how an emergency and disaster preparedness plan can be used at their organization.

Connecting the Content

This webinar is open to anyone but will especially help organizations enrolled in STEPS address Stewardship of Collections Standard 7: The institution legally, ethically, and effectively manages, documents, cares for, and uses the collections. 

The Standards and Excellence Program for History Organizations (STEPS) is a self-study, self-paced assessment tool designed specifically for small- to mid-sized history organizations, including volunteer-run institutions. Through a workbook, online resources, and an online community, organizations enrolled in STEPS review their policies and practices and benchmark themselves against national standards.
