When disruption strikes, the question is: how do you keep going? This practical, encouraging workshop helps you build a plan to maintain your creative work or organizational operations during interruptions—whether from a major disaster, a personal emergency, or the sudden loss of a key resource. Together, we’ll look at the areas that matter most: personnel, audiences and clients; finances; data and technology; collections and equipment; and your space. We’ll also consider crisis communications and protecting your reputation. Along the way, you’ll see how continuity planning not only prepares you for emergencies but can also make day-to-day operations smoother and less stressful. You’ll leave with a framework to identify your most critical functions, plus clear, realistic steps for backup systems, communications, and records that safeguard your practice or organization. With a continuity plan in place, you’ll be ready to minimize downtime, protect your work, and move forward with confidence—whether in ordinary times or extraordinary ones.
