UNESCO’s Bangkok bureau just released a toolkit on disaster management for heritage and digital archives. There are several sections and references to audiovisual and digital archives.

The free download is available here: https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000391132

Announcement: https://www.unesco.org/en/articles/building-resilience-disaster-risk-management-documentary-heritage-and-digital-archives-training?hub=66925

Description from the UNESCO website:
“Today, more than half of memory institutions worldwide lack a comprehensive Disaster Risk Management (DRM) plan. This concerning situation is often due to a persisting gap in skills and resources. The lack of disaster preparedness and the accumulation of related challenges pose a threat to the preservation of unique records and their accessibility, particularly in the most vulnerable contexts.

In response to this concerning situation, UNESCO has produced a Training Toolkit covering a range of essential themes in relation to DRM for documentary heritage and digital collections, with the intention of supporting institutions which may be seeking to address this critically important subject.

The originality of the UNESCO DRM Training Toolkit lies in its practicality as a curriculum. First, it lays out a comprehensive set of six training modules covering, in turn, risk assessment, collection policies, storage management, community involvement, digital preservation, and climate change. Second, each module offers its own customized questionnaires and activity plans enabling memory institutions to practice with self-assessment. Finally, the Toolkit presents 23 informative case studies from Asia and the Pacific, offering stewards of memory institutions robust examples and scenarios from over a dozen countries.

Archivists, librarians, museum staff, educators and other related professionals are encouraged to use the Training Toolkit to develop their competences in DRM, and to potentially train their peers on mastering disaster prevention measures towards stronger resilience and long-term sustainability of their critically important heritage collections.”
