FED - The Federation of Yorkshire and Humberside Museums and Art Galleries

13 April 2010

Your organisation may have a disaster plan but how many people actually know how to implement it? Have you had a run-through to check its effectiveness? Could it contend with every possibility, from a minor incident to a major fire or flood? Do all the people who work in your building understand why fast reaction to water damage is so important?

This is an intensive one-day course that will equip participants with all the tools necessary either to write an emergency plan for their institution for the first time, or to review an existing plan so that it is thoroughly up to date. Exercises throughout the day will provide opportunities for participants to fast-track elements of their plan. Hard and soft copy handouts, together with a template plan will be available.
