Title: "Fire Preparedness and Response for Museums"

As illustrated by the massive destruction of the Marshall Fire (2021) in Colorado, the Lahaina Fire (2023) in Maui, and most recently the numerous fires in LA, wildfires fueled by drought and straight-line winds are becoming an increasing concern for our communities and our cultural institutions, particularly in our Mountain Plains region. Join Christina Cain, Colorado-Wyoming Association of Museums Emergency Preparedness Chair, Colorado Cultural and Historic Resources Task Force Co-Chair, and Emergency Programs Manager for the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation for a presentation on building capacity in our museums for fire preparedness, response, and recovery. We'll discuss techniques for identifying and mitigating fire risk, important considerations for salvage and recovery, and lessons learned from the field.
