Vision, Mission, Values & Reports

Vision

Texas cultural institutions are educated, prepared, and able to respond to natural and manmade emergencies and disasters.

Mission

At TX-CERA, our mission is to serve as an educational resource for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery for Texas cultural institutions.

Values

Community

We believe that Texas cultural institutions are more prepared when they are connected to each other and the emergency management system.

Self-Reliance

We believe that cultural institutions are empowered through education and training to support themselves at all times when the unexpected happens.

Safety

We believe that individuals belonging to cultural institutions should prioritize their well-being over any object, collection, or material culture.

Cultural Heritage

We believe that cultural heritage institutions, including Historic Sites, Museums, Libraries, Archives, and Special Collections, are vital to the well-being of a community, should be protected at all times, and can be integral assets in the recovery of a community after a disaster.

Education

We believe that through the sharing of specialized expertise, we can increase resilience within the community through training, workshops, webinars, distribution of resources, and hands-on experience.

Preparedness

We believe that the best way to care for our cultural heritage is through education, planning, and training.
