</span></b><span style="font-size:11pt">| <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/edzgr_H2RfuyYjHSGAO5Ug&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw184uJgyMj4bkvNeYE7TbpS" target="_blank">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Planning for disasters of all sizes and shapes is essential to the continuity of small heritage organizations. From the burst water pipe in a collection,
to a board or staff retirement leading to mass data or institutional knowledge loss, to a large wildfire threatening the institution - responses and plans can be structured similarly with a systemic approach. While the concept of disaster planning may sound
daunting, it is easily broken into small bite-sized pieces that ultimately come together to form a cohesive strategy for success. From knowing who to call for what, to understanding what supplies are available to respond, to knowing your local resources and
network - many of these steps are already engrained in how you work. Mapping out the response is just putting these puzzle pieces together so you know where to look when disaster strikes.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
