Description
Arts organizations face a variety of potential threats from human-made emergencies to natural disasters and fires. These threats can put your audience, staff, and the future of your organization at risk, but through careful planning every performing arts organization can implement strategies that help improve their level of preparedness.
Join Emergency Preparedness Consultant Sean Ferguson for a 2 hour presentation on the concepts of emergency preparedness for arts organizations. Participants will be introduced to the fundamental policies, procedures, and steps that help organizations protect themselves and their audiences and will have the opportunity to share their own experiences and strategies throughout the presentation.
