NJSL & New Jersey Cultural Alliance for Response

Implementing The Incident Command System @ The Repository Level
PRESENTED BY: David W. Carmicheal

Every cultural repository needs two management structures: the day-to-day, business-as-usual hierarchy, and a “supercharged” management structure that takes over temporarily during a crisis or whenever events threaten to overwhelm normal business routines. Emergency responders have used just such a supercharged structure for years: The Incident Command System (ICS). This webinar will explain how libraries, archives, and museums can adopt the ICS as a temporary management structure whenever ‘business as usual’ won’t get the job done. Whether you are preparing for fires and floods—or planning a major public event—the Incident Command System is a proven management tool that safeguards lives, property, and priceless collections. Learn how to put it to use in your repository!ABOUT THE PRESENTER: DAVID CARMICHEAL is the author of Implementing the Incident Command System at the Institutional Level: A Handbook for Libraries, Archives, Museums, and other Cultural InstitutionsDATE: March 23, 2021TIME: 2:00 PM
