The new ArtsReady 2.0/dPlan
Pocket Response Resource, (
“PRR”), is a free document designed specifically for arts and cultural organizations. The
PRR puts critical emergency information in the pocket (or device) of staff, crew and volunteers, ensuring they have immediate access to information they’ll need in the first minutes and hours of any type of emergency. The
PRR and
Instructions, available for
free download, prompts organizations to collect critical contact information on one side, and critical action steps such as evacuation, crisis communications, situational assessment, and prioritizing assets to be protected or salvaged on the other. While the
Pocket Response Resource is designed to be “do it yourself,” this webinar will provide you with guidance and recommendations to maximize the utility of your
PRR, including:
- Creating your internal Response Team
- Tailoring your PRR if you rent out your space, present guest artists, or have multiple facilities
- Touring the free Guides and Resources
