    What is a disaster preparedness plan?


    A Disaster Preparedness Plan is essentially an outline for people to follow in the
    event of a disaster. You will never be able to think of every possible calamitous event
    which might befall your organisation but if you have a well prepared plan, you will
    have a guide in place that will avert turning emergency into catastrophe.

    With this in mind, try to keep your plan as simple and succinct as possible. There may
    be a lot of background research required and you may have detailed backup files but
    the main plan should be slim, clear and concise. Nobody wants to rifle through
    volumes of instructions to find the plumber’s phone number when there’s a burst
    pipe pouring water into the main exhibition space.

    The basic steps in writing a disaster preparedness plan are as follows:

    1. Assess all risks and threats


    In essence, look at the history of disasters which have occurred both in your
    organisation and the local community (remember to include smaller incidents of
    leaks and near disasters), think about the sort of risks which may occur in your
    area (floods, fires, earthquakes, industrial accidents, vandalism etc.), rate the
    likelihood and impact of each of these.

    2. Reduce or remove those risks


    One of the great immediate impacts of the first phase of Disaster Preparedness is
    the opportunity to identify the repairs and maintenance activities which need to
    be done around the building and provide further impetus to act upon them.
    These include repair of rooves, clearing of gutters and establishing a
    maintenance schedule.

    3. Prioritise the collection


    Look at this, both in terms of significance and vulnerability.

    4. Establish a disaster response team


    Keep in mind availability, suitability and proximity to the museum.

    5. Establish a support network


    Look at where you can establish relationships for broader community support,
    can the museums in the area band together to support each other?

    6. Prepare a disaster response plan


    This is your initial response, remember, HUMAN LIFE COMES FIRST
    This needs to have clear, simple instructions that anybody in the organisation can
    act upon

    7. Prepare a disaster recovery plan


    This is where the medium to long term action takes place- air drying books,
    documenting the situation, dehumidifying the building, rebuilding etc.

    8. Train all staff


    This is an ongoing activity and needs to ensure that all new members of the
    organisation are informed about the plan as part of their induction

    9. Review the plan


    Your plan cannot remain static, it needs to be reviewed as circumstances change,
    whether this is a change of personnel, new or changing buildings, changes to the
    general environment as they occur. If you do experience a disaster, review the
    plan afterwards, to see where it could be improved
