Strategic Planning for Regional and Local Museums in Response to Crisis for the Archaeological Heritage Preservation This session is designed to examine how museums prepare for significant events and the insights that can be derived from museum professionals during or after such incidents. The experiences of these professionals in disaster response provide valuable information to the museum sector regarding strategies aimed at safeguarding lives, collections, and archaeological sites. This knowledge will be disseminated through case studies that detail effective planning prior to disasters, responses during crises, and successful communication strategies that have been implemented. ——————– 12th November 2025 1:00 – 2:30 PM (Dubai time) ICR-DRMC-ICMAH Session- – Session A-20 Strategic Planning for Regional and Local Museums in Response to Crisis for the Archaeological Heritage Preservation Dubai World Trade Centre, Dubai, UAE Room No: Sheikh Rashid Hall C Asmaa Hussein – Strategic Planning and Effective Communication for Crisis Management in Regional Museums: A Case Study of Mallawi Museum  Rūta Kačkutė – Prepared for the Worst: Strategic Planning for Lithuanian Museums in case of Armed Conflict  Elke Kellner – Be prepared.
