Disaster Planning and Recovery

Welcome to the Heritage League of Greater Kansas City's Disaster Planning and Recovery web pages.

In honor of MayDay 2010, we've added links to national MayDay resources and activities, and new information to help you update your institution's disaster plan with a risk assessment survey.

Emergency Contacts and Resources

Need help right away? If so, go to EMERGENCY CONTACTS and start calling the contact people on your own institution's disaster plan's list. Also see our recommendations for a master list of supplies to help you clean up after a disaster, and regional conservators who can help restore damaged collections.

Disaster Plan

We've gathered guidelines and tools to help you create a new (or expand an existing) emergency preparedness disaster plan for your institution. With a current plan, you will have the necessary response information at hand and ready to access in the event you ever do face a water incursion or another calamity at your cultural heritage institution. See our list of web and print disaster resources for help formulating your plan.
