Disaster Management

Floods, earthquakes, tornadoes - what should your theatre do when disaster strikes? How do you manage the initial crisis? How do you balance your theatre’s recovery with the wider needs of your community? How can you mitigate damage before the unthinkable happens?

 

TCG wants to be a part of this larger conversation.

Google Group

The Disaster Management Google Group will initially serve as a communication tool for TCG member theatres participating in the Disaster Management: Lessons Learned from the Field Teleconference on January 19, 2012. This Google Group will be a secure forum where members can solicit advice, support and best practices from each other. If your TCG member theatre is not participating in the teleconference but still wants to be a part of the Google Group, please send an inquiry to Rachel Hutt, management programs associate, or call (212) 609-5900 X 282 and instructions will be sent on how to create an account.
