Effective Emergency Planning and Disaster Recovery

Next Course - November 26, 2025, Ditchley Park

This course is aimed at those who have had emergency plans in place for several years but are keen on conducting a review to ensure that the content will work effectively if ever implemented . With a combination of presentations and exercises, participants will be encouraged to scrutinise their plan, emergency management structure and identify strategies for improvement where necessary.

For anyone wishing to write an emergency plan it will also function well as an introduction to the topic and cover the fundamental content required for a robust and resilient contingency document. The day will also provide information regarding salvage techniques for dealing with damaged objects and provide blueprints for training within attendees' organisations.
