About
Goal
Fire, flooding, earthquakes, and civil disturbances are among various catastrophes that can potentially strike museums and other collecting institutions. Since preparing for such emergencies—and responding effectively if they occur—is a critical component of collections care, the Disaster Preparedness and Response project was created to provide this training for museum personnel. This project is part of the Conservation Institute's longstanding commitment to emergency preparedness.
