Risk Assessments are one of the most important steps that heritage institutions can take in emergency and business continuity planning. The objective of this course is to enable participants from small to mid-size heritage institutions to undertake a risk assessment specific to their institution, enabling them to identify potential natural, traditional, made or non-traditional risks and evaluate their impact. Utilizing existing knowledge of their institution and its collections, programs and assets, participants evaluate hazards and risks based on information from the heritage field, the insurance industry, the commercial business resumption sector and government agencies. A recommended reading list/bibliography will be provided.?

?

At the completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify and understand the internal and external hazards likely to affect their institution (building, collections, people)
• Evaluate the likelihood of these hazards affecting their institution
• Rank these risks posed by these hazards through the lens of their institution’s key functions and program priorities
• Assess the likelihood and impact of these hazards on their institution’s buildings and collections
• Summarize this information and identify risk priorities using a Heritage Risk Assessment Matrix
