Oregon Heritage Fall Statewide Workshop on organizational planning - first one coming up in Baker City on Oct. 27!
Does the idea of planning for your organization’s next big endeavor fill you with dread and anxiety? Or does it cause you to procrastinate because you just don’t know where to start?
Let us help you get started by registering now for the free Organizational Planning without Fear & Anxiety Workshop hosted by Oregon Heritage!
We’ll help approach planning with the training-wheels on and a support system in place to catch you. During this free three-hour workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to take a look at your organization’s projects, establish goals, and get a working plan down on paper with the help of our skilled facilitator, Kyrie Kellet. You’ll also take home the tools and worklets to bring back to your organization once you feel ready to take the training-wheels off and do it on your own.

ShakeOut Day! Disaster prep, response, recovery resources
Is your heritage organization ready for the “Big One”? Did you participate in the Oregon ShakeOut Day last week? Whether it’s the eventual Cascadia or something smaller, being prepared for seismic activity in Oregon should an important component of disaster planning for your organization. Every year the Oregon Office of Emergency Management hosts the Great Oregon ShakeOut as a reminder to make space in your day to think about disaster preparations. This year, it was 10/19. We’d thought we’d follow up with some resources.

What can you do as an organization?

  1.  Prepare your staff and volunteers.
     *   Run a drop, cover, and hold on drill on ShakeOut day.<https://www.shakeout.org/oregon/>
     *   Take some time to write out a Pocket Response Plan<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/OC2C_PReP.doc> and set expectations who’s responsible for what things if a disaster occurs.
  2.  Prepare your collections.
     *   Conduct a collections inventory for insurance purposes with the guidance of Oregon Heritage MentorCorps.<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/oh/pages/mentorcorps.aspx>
     *   Ensure seismic-safe mounting or storage where possible with straps, custom mounts, cradles, boxes, and shelving; both in exhibits and collections spaces. You can gain some inspiration from the Natural History Museum of Utah here.<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp4vCPobTMo>
     *   Seek a Oregon Heritage museum grant<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/oh/pages/grants.aspx> for supplies or planning services to help better prepare for disaster.
  3.  Plan holistically.
     *   It’s not just earthquakes, but fires, floods, heatwaves, and even volcanoes are possible Oregon disasters with deleterious effects to your collection. Plan today, using these Oregon Heritage<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Pages/DisasterPrep.aspx> resources and templates.
