Coachella Valley Emergency Preparedness Network

Mission Statement

The Coachella Valley Emergency Preparedness Network, a sub-committee of the Desert Cities Museum Association, seeks to protect the historic and cultural heritage of the Coachella Valley through emergency preparedness planning activities including central repositories of emergency supplies, on-going programs and training, and providing assistance to its members.

It will establish and maintain central repositories of emergency supplies for collections response and salvage which are accessible by all participating members.

It will provide assistance to its members impacted by an emergency or disaster. CVEPN members will keep current in emergency response procedures through on-going programs and training. The CVEPN is a forum for networking with our professional and volunteer colleagues to share knowledge and expertise.

 

History & Membership

In June of 2008, a group of 20 staff members of local museums and historical societies first met to discuss the idea of sharing our resources and expertise for emergency and disaster planning, with a primary focus on the management of cultural and historical materials. The Coachella Valley Emergency Preparedness Network was created to explore these possibilities. The group has met monthly and interest and participation has been high. Current membership includes 15 institutions.

Membership in the Coachella Valley Emergency Preparedness Network is open to organizations/institutions which have collections of historic and cultural materials. For membership information contact Ginger Ridgway at ginger.ridgway@cabotsmuseum.org.
