About this Webinar

Almost four years after the destruction of Hurricane Harvey, the cultural ecosystem’s clearest lesson is that most of the region’s arts, cultural, and historic preservation communities are unprepared for the next disruption. This is a result of a critical gap that exists between the cultural and emergency management ecosystems. The result of a two-year research project, "Disaster Resiliency and the Arts," provides 21 key findings and strategic recommendations for initiatives and efforts that will help the arts ecosystem across the country become more resilient in the face of disasters and outlines how we can capitalize on the connections created with national experts and existing disaster response systems for the betterment of our community.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify and recognize the cultural community’s connection to the emergency management ecosystem
• Advocate for the needs of the cultural community during a disaster. 
• Evaluate the impact of disasters on the cultural ecosystem if we fail to incorporate emergency managers into our planning.
