Today is the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction. Join us in promoting a global culture of risk awareness, disaster preparedness and disaster reduction.
Blue Shield Australia is suggesting a few simple practical preparedness tips to get ready for the next Australian severe weather season.
✅ Are you prepared if there is a disaster affecting records and archives?
Make contact with your regional GLAM colleagues (galleries, libraries, archives, museums, historical societies, national trust sites…)
As a GLAM group, connect with your local council and emergency services contacts
✅ Does your organisation have a disaster plan?
Review your current disaster preparedness plan or develop a plan that covers a key activity in each of the four basic protection measures: prevention, preparation, response and recovery
✅ Are the contact lists in your disaster plan and business continuity plan up to date?
Update your Emergency Contacts List and make sure it’s accessible to everyone who needs it.
Blue Shield Australia has collated these resources to help you prepare for a disaster.
