release.=3D2A=3D2A
The Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts (CCAHA) is offering =
=3D
three
emergency preparedness workshops that focus on mitigation strategies. The
workshops are designed to help institutions reduce the possibility of =3D
disaster
and prevent, or limit, potential damage to collections.
The workshops are made possible through the generous funding of The William =
=3D
Penn
Foundation and they are co-sponsored by: Heritage Investment Program, =3D
Tri-State
Coalition of Historic Places, Delaware Valley Archivists Group, Philadelphia
Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries, the Museum Council of
Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine =

activities or have responsibility for the safety of collections such as
librarians, archivists, curators, collections managers, stewards of historic
house museums, site and facilities managers, and security and safety staff.
All of the workshops will be held at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine =
=3D

Philadelphia, PA.
Be Prepared... Conducting a Vulnerability Assessment
Tuesday, October 19, 1999 Registration Deadline: October 8
In this workshop, participants will learn how to conduct a vulnerability
analysis and risk assessment so that they will be able to evaluate the =
types=3D
of
emergencies that might affect their institution and its collections. This
evaluation will help the institution develop effective strategies to =3D
minimize
the likelihood of a disaster. A crisis communications expert will also =3D
address
public relations strategies for emergency situations.

Thursday, November 4, 1999 Registration Deadline: October 25
Critical to the selection of an appropriate fire protection and suppression
system is the assessment and analysis of the hazards and risks faced by a
collection. This workshop will focus on the need to review current fire
protection procedures and systems in historic and cultural institutions. =

The
goal of the workshop will be to equip participants with up-to-date =3D
information
to make informed decisions on fire prevention.
