Remove superfluous information
editI 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)
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

- Linked to Disaster response Wikipedia page.Caroline Randy (talk) 02:31, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
The terms salvage and disaster preparedness should also be linked to this section.
COMMENT
editSTILL A WORK IN PROGRESS I'M STILL ACTIVELY WORKING ON THIS!
Change title? Disaster Preparedness focus
editI 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)
Significant changes made during edit-a-thon
editHello...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.
