Among items he will be discussing are protests and street crime, which has been a huge concern for museums in recent years. Museums can be victim to protests and street crime, and this webinar will train attendees on how to recognize, respond, and hopefully prevent damage to their cultural property due to a security threat or breech.
Oklahoma is no stranger to catastrophic incidents. In response to current trends, it may be only a matter of time until possible protestors and activists enter Oklahoma museums with the intent to damage cultural property.
Join the Oklahoma Museums Association for this free webinar which will educate museums, libraries and archives on how to have foresight and be knowledgeable on risk management and threats. This information will be valuable to all staff from security to collections to front of house and more. Knowing what to look for at your cultural institution can help prevent man-made disasters and protect cultural property.
The information Jeff will present will help museums, libraries and archives develop strategic and insightful solutions to potential security threats on their cultural property. He helps you spot trouble before trouble spots you, and the goal of the information presented in this webinar will help Oklahoma museums, libraries and archives remain safe and trouble free.
