Remove superfluous information[edit]

I agree, some information could be removed, I don't know if the type of emergency is important, that list seems superfluous. The list of phone numbers as well. This isn't a 'how to'. The 'See Also' section also seems unnecessary.

I agree with the phone numbers being superfluous information. I have removed them.Caroline Randy (talk) 02:32, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to see the article cleaned up, more links to other articles in Wikipedia, and more links to case studies, for example, famous hurricanes like Hurricane Sandy had a coordinated emergency response, the Fire at Windsor Castle as well comes to mind. I think Salvage and Disaster Recovery would include an emergency response plan.

You could link more with these pages - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Emergency_management

The terms salvage and disaster preparedness should also be linked to this section.

Change title? Disaster Preparedness focus[edit]

I think this page should be renamed 'Disaster Preparedness (cultural property)' as that's mostly what this page is about. Risk management is used in cultural organisations for a number of reasons now other than disaster preparedness - project management, treatments, long-term collection preservation planning etc. It would be good to highlight the main risk assessment approaches (eg CPRAM and the 'ABC' method) that have shaped a lot of preventive conservation activities and thinking for the last two decades, and include some case studies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pinknantucket (talk • contribs) 00:14, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Significant changes made during edit-a-thon[edit]

Hello...as part of an edit-a-thon I did rename the page (as discussed above) and substantially revised it. I hope you don't mind! I moved quite a lot of information from the agents of deterioration headings to a new dedicated page (Agents of deterioration), including pictures and references, and then revised the remaining text for a disaster preparedness focus rather than risk assessments. I also made a new page Risk management for cultural heritage to talk about the wider application of risk management in the sector (not just as it relates to disaster preparedness). I removed detail that seemed specific to one kind of disaster preparedness approach and references to US-based assistance numbers and tried to make it more general.
