Prevention and Protection
The first course concentrates on prevention and protection aspects of preparing for emergencies.
The modules will help you understand:

- security related threats facing historic assets, how to spot hazards and ensure best practice processes are in place
- key flood threats including prevention and protection best practice
- the range of building services found in many historic sites and the importance of effective maintenance and inspection regimes. You’ll also understand what utility information to include in emergency plans
The second course ‘Creating an Emergency Plan’ will be held the following day 27 February 2019. Details can be found here.
Both courses are only open to staff, Trustees and volunteers from Accredited museums and those officially Working Towards Accreditation in the West Midlands.
