Baer Guest Speakers: Larry Wood and others Symposium Moderator: Norbert S. Baer On 7 November 1966 the art world learned of the disastrous flood in Florence. In the intervening three decades, conservators, facilities managers and curators have had many opportunities to test disaster planning, mitigation and response procedures. In a one-day symposium, leading experts will review their experiences with disaster response, planning and mitigation and consider which areas of research and development hold promise in reducing loss. The symposium will be preceded by a one day workshop in which individual disaster plans will be presented and examined critically. The course has been developed for collections care managers, museum administrators, curators, librarians, and private collectors. Enrollment in the workshop is limited to 15 participants. Participants are invited to bring disaster plans for discussion. ____________________________________________________ Financial assistance is available for qualified applicants.
