About this event

When the Palisades Fire tore through Southern California, the Getty Villa was directly in its path. Yet, thanks to the strategic emergency planning and dedication of its staff, the historic site and its invaluable collections remained protected. At BICEPP we believe that case studies like this should be examined to both acknowledge success and share valuable insights.

Join us for an exclusive webinar presentation "The Palisades Fire & The Getty Villa: How Planning and Preparedness Saved an Iconic Museum" with Les Borsay, Getty Emergency Planning Specialist. Les will share a behind-the-scenes look at the crisis response, decision-making, and preparedness strategies that helped the museum persevere. Les will also answer attendee questions as part of the presentation.
