Mapping Risk, Protecting Collections Flood Preparedness for Cultural Institutions
Water emergencies such as floods, leaks, and severe storms pose serious risks to cultural collections—but the level of risk varies by institution. Effective protection begins with identifying hazards both in your region and within your building. This webinar will guide museums, libraries, and archives in assessing their specific water vulnerabilities using publicly available maps and hazard assessment tools. Viewers will also learn about current mitigation strategies, including early leak detection technologies.
