[Gary L Menges]

The past few years have seen an increase in cultural institutions dealing
with various extreme disasters. In this webinar we will feature two
examples of extreme weather, wildfires and hurricanes, and how staff at two
institutions dealt with preparation, impact, and ramifications for these
common types of extreme weather.

*CZU Lightening Fires of San Mateo and Santa Cruz Counties, California
August 2020*
*Speakers: Kathleen Alston, Collections Manager, Santa Cruz Museum of
Natural History*
*Jenny Daly, Museum Curator I, California State Parks*

In this portion of the webinar Kathleen Alston Collections Manager at the
Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History will discuss emergency plan writing
and incorporating lived experiences into emergency plan improvements,
including the importance of the priority object designations, chain of
command for decision making, evacuation plans, and staff training as well
as community oriented disaster responses including community collections,
programming, and partnerships related to disasters.

Her collaborator, Jenny Daly, Museum Curator for the Santa Cruz District of
California State Parks, will describe how the state parks responded to the
fire including: a timeline of evacuations, lessons learned, and
coordinating the return of evacuated collections after the fire.
