  Join the Arizona Alliance for Response for a half-day workshop will provide hands-on guidance for creating a personalized disaster plan for your cultural organization.

  While all cultural organizations “should” have a plan that addresses how it will protect its staff, visitors, and collections in case of emergency or disaster, many have not yet written  or completed a plan, or have plans that are many years old.

  This workshop will include:  
  - why creating a disaster plan should be a priority  for your institution
  - essential parts of a disaster plan and why each is important
  - examples of cultural heritage disaster plans
  - time to work on your own organization’s Pocket Response Plan (PReP)   

  We highly encourage participating organizations to send two attendees to the workshop - one knowledgeable about building or site operations and one who works with collections.   If your institution already has a disaster plan - no matter how old or incomplete - please bring it with you.

  The registration fee of $25 includes lunch, the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation’s (FAIC) Emergency Response and Salvage Wheel, and a copy of Council of State Archivists’ Pocket Response Plan (PReP), with pre-printed information for the Phoenix area.

  Join us for a FREE half-day workshop, developed by members of the Arizona State Parks and Trails staff, that focuses on a expanded form of diversity training that includes five core principles:

  Justice: Identifying and removing barriers that prevent diversity, equity, inclusion of difference, and accessibility. 
  Equity: Fair and equal access to opportunity that recognizes that people have different needs.  
  Diversity: The presence and recognition of differences - both visible and invisible - within a group of people.
  Accessibility: Giving equitable access to everyone along the continuum of ability and experience.
  Inclusion: Deliberately and authentically welcoming and valuing differences.

  Use this judgement-free space to engage in meaningful conversations and share and learn openly.

  Participants are invited to continue their discussion at a pay-your-own-way lunch at a local restaurant after the workshop.

  This workshop is made possible in part by our partnership with Arizona Humanities.
