Weβve all seen it: carefully crafted emergency plans that look great on paper- but donβt always translate in the chaos of real-world response. When the phone rings or an incident unfolds in real time, that gap between policy and practice can cost precious time.
The Cultural Safeguard Alliance invites you to a practical, no-nonsense webinar with Todd Lawrence, CPP, Security Director at the Simon Wiesenthal Center and Museum of Tolerance, to explore how tabletop exercises can turn plans into muscle memory.
With over 16 years of global security leadership experience- from crisis operations in Eastern Europe and the Middle East to advanced emergency preparedness in U.S. cultural institutions- Todd brings a grounded, real-world approach to preparedness that actually works when it matters most.
In this session, participants will learn how to:
β Identify the real gap between written plans and human response
β Use a crawl, walk, run approach to tabletop exercises
β Design low-cost, high-impact scenarios (even 10-minute drills)
β Build staff confidence during the critical first moments of an incident
β Scale exercises over time without disrupting daily operations
β Strengthen consistency, communication, and readiness across teams
Whether you work in security, operations, facilities, or leadership at a cultural institution, this webinar provides practical tools to bring your emergency preparedness plans off the shelf- and into action.
