Protecting and saving your company’s artwork, collectibles, memorabilia and employee’s personal items in your workplace is essential, especially before natural disaster situations occur. These efforts will enhance:
1. workplace safety
2. the emotional response of fellow employees
3. asset risk management
Discover how these two conditions are of paramount importance for your office’s business continuity and the reopening of your workplace after a disaster.
Reflect on your company’s Mission Statement and corporate culture and discover how safeguarding these items must be an important part of your HR emergency preparedness plan (personal emotional preparedness) whether you are in a corporation or a government office… and how fun it is to implement!
Save Your Stuff in the Workplace helps you assess your needs and establishes clear strategies for action which you won’t see in any other source! Also included with the purchase of this book, you will receive continuing education to help you and other office personnel to implement and enjoy success. You won’t have to do this by yourself!
Have you ever lost a cherished possession that was dear to you in an earthquake, hurricane or fire? Porcelains that broke, important photos or certificates that were ruined by water, mold or smoke? What are you afraid of loosing in the next “big one”? Or has someone ever thrown away a “worthless” treasured item that was really important to your company?
This book, written by Your Preservation Coach, is your manual for protecting your company’s culture and heritage… and will have a hugely positive affect on the preparedness of your company’s employees.
We respond to disasters all the time but we’ve been personally involved in nine “major” disasters: three earthquakes (Silomar 1971, Whittier 1989 and Northridge 1994), five fires (Santa Barbara 1990, 2008, Oakland 1993, 2 in 2009) and one flood (Santa Barbara 1995) and though people loose homes, cars, toys etc., by far the items for which we hear the most crying, are over the things that make up a person’s heritage or history… things that cannot be replaced with insurance money.
There is almost a spiritual identity that people feel for the items that help tell their story or their company’s story. So it is with the photos, letters and certificates, portraits and lots of other “stuff” that may be unceremoniously displayed. Acknowledged widely by disaster response experts in earthquake country, hurricane country, flooded out communities, in museums and in government offices… the Save Your Stuff message is the best, easy-to-understand information on how to protect your valuable collectibles.
The Save Your Stuff information is widely distributed by Daughters of Utah Pioneers museums, FamilySearch (in fact parts of the book were used by permission in the book repair department), other online genealogy companies, art galleries, in promotions with Museum Wax, to docent councils in museums, historical organizations and the “Prepper” industry.
A valuable and fun part of this book is the authoritative continuing education program that will be sent via e-mail. This program includes practical tips, videos, articles, entertaining stories etc. This valuable feature is not available from other distributors of the book.

A disastrous situation… but if his papers had been stored in a cardboard box, they would have been lost… a complete disaster! Valuable Tip: large plastic containers are made of archival plastic and will do much to prepared for emergencies. Saving these documents may be the difference between reopening a business and closing for good.
