Resiliency Planning: Preventive/Reactive Measures

How would you rate your organizations resiliency planning maturity? Select No formal plan/structure Good in some areas with gaps Documented but untested Exercised + funded action plan

Where does your organization fall on the trade-offs listed below? (provide your opinion and there is no wrong answer)

• Hardening vs flexibility: Spend on building-level hardening (flood barriers, redundancy) vs invest in flexible/surge capabilities (portable dehumidification, vendor MOUs)
• Collections-first vs continuity-of-public-service: Prioritize collections stabilization vs keeping parts of the museum safely open (revenue, image, community service)
• Optimize for the most likely vs the most consequential: Design for frequent disruptions (power glitches, HVAC failures) vs low-frequency catastrophes (major flood/fire, prolonged regional outage

Do you have a designated budget for resiliency measures? Select No, just part of normal budgets No, but these become line items when approved Yes, separate category or budget

Other proactive or reactive measures

Where does resiliency planning END and emergency response BEGIN (and how should they connect)?

Which challenges hinder sufficient facility resiliency measures?

Lack of dedicated time and attention to it
Funding competition
Staff capacity/expertise
Vendor capacity/expertise
Building constraints (location, design)
Insufficient urgency to decision makers
Other

What performance metrics do you regularly track about resiliency?

Incident log with dates/durations
Cost by incident type
Critical system/equipment outage hours
BAS reports of out-of-compliance occurrences
Preventive Maintenance completion rates
Generator run/test logs
Preparation equipment/supply inspection log
Drill/training logs
Completion progress of written resiliency plan
