Preparing for and Responding to an Environmental Disaster - Virtual Summit - Recording

In August 2023, one of the deadliest wildfires in the United States swept through Maui, Hawaii. Changes to the climate and environment of the island contributed to the disaster, which destroyed eight museums and historic sites that are part of the Lahaina Restoration Foundation. In this session, hear from representatives from the Heritage Emergency Network Task Force and the Lahaina Restoration Foundation on how your organization can prepare for and respond to an environmental disaster. 

Moderated by Kathy Garrett-Cox, Curator and Director of Historical Resources and Collections, Maymont Foundation, Richmond, Virginia, and Chair of the AASLH Climate and Sustainability Committee. 

Panelists: 

• Kimberly Flook, Deputy Executive Director, Lahaina Restoration Foundation, Lahaina, Hawaii 

• Kara Griffin, Heritage Emergency Network Task Force Information Management Specialist, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Washington, District of Columbia
