DESCRIPTION:COSTEP MA invites your registration to a special symposium this

 by cultural heritage and emergency management professionals\, plus short 
 remarks to open and close the day\, with a break for lunch (provided) and 
 networking. The event is limited to 50 with the small format intended to 
 promote discussion\, ideas\, tips\, and best practices among all attendees 
 and panelists. \n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to learn more about 
 resilience among cultural and emergency management colleagues at a unique 
 venue in the MEMA Operations Room. The symposium coincides with National 
 Preparedness Month and anticipates Climate Preparedness Week. Join the 
 discussion and register today for this FREE event!\n\nProgram 
 at-a-glance:\n\n\n\n10:00 am – 10:30 am What's next for COSTEP MA?\n\nLed 
 by Co-Chairs Alejandra Dean (Massachusetts Archives) and Evan Knight 
 (Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners)\n\n10:30 am – 12:00 pm 
 Climate Change and Resilience for Cultural Institutions\n\nThe physical 
 impacts from climate change are rapidly causing museums\, library/archive 
 repositories\, and historic properties to change how they care for their 
 collections and facilities. Hear about some current projects and efforts in 
 this area through a panel discussion led by Ben Haavik\, Team Leader of 
 Property Care for Historic New England\; Rodney Rowland\, Director of 
 Facilities and Special Projects\, Strawbery Banke Museum\; and Matthew 
 Siegal\, Conservation and Collections Management\, Museum of Fine Arts\, 
 Boston.\n\n12:00 pm – 12:45 pm Lunch and Networking \n\nLunch sponsored 
 by Polygon Document Recovery Services\n\n12:45 pm – 2:00 pm What to 
 Expect in Community-Wide/Large Disasters\n\nPanel with discussion led by 
 Benjamin Hiltunen (MEMA)\, with Virginia Hewitt (Brooks Free Library\, 
 Harwich)\, Lori Foley (FEMA/Heritage Emergency National Task Force) and 
 Angela Campbell (National Parks Service\, Historic Architecture 
 Conservation and Engineering Center). Responses to localized collections 
 emergencies like water leaks are vastly different from those for 
 community-wide disasters. Consider if your institution ever dealt with a 
 major disaster – and what you might do if forced to evacuate the area for 
 days or weeks? Learn tips from peers and emergency management professionals 
 about what your institution can do before\, during\, and after a large 
 disaster to be better prepared.\n\n2:00 pm – 2:30pm Closing remarks and 
 discussion\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\nRegistration is free and limited to 50 
 attendees\, so be sure to register early!
