Our team supports cultural institutions and collections to formulate disaster plans for unforeseen circumstances and help discern risk assessment and identify potential hazards. We help with the creation of emergency response teams and communication plans as well as implementing preventative measures and helping to create a stockpile of emergency supplies. We can create disaster response procedures and help train your staff to outline the steps they need to take in the event of a disaster.
