As we become more aware of the increasing dangers of wildfires in the U.S., the PAR project will present the free webinar Fire and Emergency Protection Plan Development on October 26, 2022 at 2:00pm ET. October is National Fire Prevention Month, and we invite you to join us for this session that will address developing a comprehensive Protection Plan that is compliant with industry safety standards and best practices.

Participants in this webinar will be presented with the components of a Protection Plan and the process to follow for its development following guidelines provided by the National Fire Protection Association’s Code for Protection of Cultural Resource Properties. Grounded in a vulnerability assessment, the planning process covers fire safety, security, construction considerations, prevention, special events, and recovery strategies. In conjunction with emergency management plans, this Plan is a significant step towards a resilient organization.
