The frequency of natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and data breaches across the globe and the dramatic retelling of them on various media outlets has created an expectation that emergency plans be developed and routinely updated for areas of public assembly, including arts and culture venues. In this professional development course, learners will develop a customized disaster plan for their arts and cultural organization.
This course is designed for the arts professional designated to create the institutional disaster plan for their organization.
Courses limited to 15 students per session.
This course is delivered online in an asynchronous format. The course runs for eight weeks with disaster plan sections being written, discussed, and reviewed each week. Once registered, you will receive login information and access to a short training course which will get your acquainted with the software.
