In this webinar, we venture beyond the tools and techniques in emergency preparedness and explore the world of human behaviour in crisis. We will discuss how disasters can affect us psychologically and how this might hinder or facilitate an effective emergency response and salvage of heritage collections.

We will explore:

• The impact of uncertainty on our emotions, especially when crucial information is scarce during a crisis.
• How stress can influence our thoughts, emotions, and actions, leading to delays in responding swiftly during emergencies.
• Effective strategies like resilience-building exercises and cognitive adjustments that can assist emergency teams in managing stress and uncertainty more effectively.
• Stress management techniques and positive reinforcement that aim to strengthen individuals' coping skills in uncertain situations.
