for cultural heritage managers and emergency response personnel as part of the
Alliance for Response (AFR) program. Training would focus on three major
metropolitan areas, with Web resources made available to existing AFR networks
and the broader preservation community. Specific activities include: training 60
individuals in Miami and Seattle in emergency response for cultural
collections; establishing a new AFR network in Washington, D.C.; and conducting
national training through 12 90-minute webinars and the expansion of existing Web-based
resources. AFR would also expand its current outreach to link major emergency
management and first response associations with the cultural heritage
community.
The Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation of
Historic and Artistic Works (FAIC) proposes to improve emergency preparation
and response for humanities collections by training and developing response
teams for cultural collections, offering training to create a new
"Alliance for Response" (AFR) network, and providing continuing
education programs on emergency preparation and response for collections. Two volunteer response teams of up to thirty
members each would be trained in cooperation with existing AFR networks in
Miami and Seattle. A training forum and
follow-up activities to establish an Alliance for Response network in
Washington, DC would reach up to 125 culture and emergency agency professionals. A series of webinars, along with web forums
and online resources, will support these efforts as well as increase sharing of
expertise among existing AFR networks.
