Risk Assessments for Cultural Institutions

Workshop IV of the Regional Heritage Stewardship Program

Presented by the Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts

In order to develop an emergency preparedness and response plan, an institution must understand the risks its collections face.  A risk assessment identifies potential risks and outlines strategies to mitigate damage in the event of an emergency or disaster. 

This workshop will offer tips for conducting these assessments on a site-wide level and for specific collections, as well as case studies of institutions that have dealt with disasters, and advice on forming relationships with first responders and other outside contacts who can help conduct risk assessments.

Speaker: Dyani Feige, Director of Preservation Services, Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts

Date & Time: October 11, 2017, 9:30am – 3:30pm

Location: Dennison Railroad Depot Museum

Fees: $30 per day, or $50 for both workshops
