7. NFPA 914 TASK GROUP REPORT

Steve Peterson informed the committee that the task group has been holding regular
conference calls. The task group have considered four sections that they wish to further
develop during the revision cycle and they provided an overview of the work to date and
sought some direction from the committee prior to progressing to the first draft stage.

The four sections and lead person for each are:

Security – Steve Peterson
Historic Districts – Ray Allshouse
Performing Arts Centers - Sheila Palmer
‘Monumental’ v ‘Iconic’ – Jack Watts

The committee provided the task group with guidance on issues they may wish to
consider whilst developing the first draft, in particular Danny McDaniel and Wayne
Moore agreed to review the security section that has been developed to advise on the
content that should be included within 914.

Steve Peterson thanked the committee for their guidance and will continue to hold regular
conference calls to progress the revision of 914 prior to the first draft meeting in April
2013.

8. PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AGENT TASK GROUP REPORT

Cindy Greczek confirmed that the grant application will be submitted to the Institute for
Museum and Library Services (IMLS) prior to February 2013.

9. GUEST PRESENTATION: RISK EVALUATION FOR THE MUSEUM AND COLLECTION
MANAGER

Luca introduced Tommaso Giusti who had completed a dissertation on fire risk
management procedures for his International PhD course. Tommaso considered the need
for a three phase process – risk assessment, analysis and mitigation measures.

He explained this through a case study undertaken at Palazzo Chigi Saracini, Sienna and
concluded that mitigation by means of management strategies required a higher number
of firefighting staff, additional training and appropriate audit arrangements.
