Rachel Onuf, CCCA Board Member, Vermont Arts & Culture Disaster and Resilience Network (VACDaRN) and VHRP Director , will be co-presenting this session at the upcoming New England Archivists Virtual Spring Meeting - Archives for a Changing World.

Session Description:
Climate change and an ongoing pandemic are increasing the challenges and threats to the cultural heritage resources archivists preserve and protect. The panelists represent national and state organizations committed to protecting these resources from disasters by connecting cultural heritage and the arts sectors with emergency management and building networks to educate and prepare for disasters. In this session, after introducing their respective organizations, they will describe current actions and plans, and open up the discussion to include opportunities for collaboration between cultural heritage and emergency management.
