With funding support from the National Park Service, NAPC developed specialized training topics to help local preservation programs prepare for and recover from disasters. These trainings follow the format of NAPC’s signature Commission Assistance and Mentoring Program (CAMP). Community hosts can choose from a menu of Disaster Planning and Recovery topics, in addition to traditional CAMP offerings, to create a customized training program that fits their specific needs. The core goal of this initiative is to equip local preservation commissioners, staff, leaders, and practitioners with the tools and knowledge needed to safeguard historic and cultural resources in the face of disasters.
Meet the CAMP Disaster Planning and Recovery Trainers
To compliment the new CAMP Disaster Planning and Recovery training, NAPC compiled a comprehensive collection of resources to be shared as an ever-growing toolkit for trainees to utilize moving forward.

When disaster strikes, one of the most valuable resources can be connecting with others who have faced similar challenges. NAPC’s listserv offers a supportive space to engage with preservation professionals and volunteers who have experience working in communities recovering from disaster.
