- Summary:
-
This manual provides guidelines for those who are responsible for disaster planning for libraries and archives. Limited to fire-and-water-related disasters involving books, manuscripts, and photographs, the manual is primarily concerned with planning. Divided into two major areas, disaster preparedness and disaster recovery, the manual covers writing a disaster plan, the contents of a disaster plan, the prevention of disasters, the protection of collections against disaster, response to disaster, and recovery after disaster strikes. The guidelines take into consideration the needs of institutions and collections of different sizes and complexities. The text is supplemented by photographs and an index. Three appendixes provide sample forms and checklists, a list of experts and institutions that can be consulted, and a list of businesses that offer disaster preparedness and recovery services. Bibliographic notes/references are included, as well as a bibliography of over 500 items (primarily in English) on the literature of disasters, disaster preparedness, and disaster recovery. (EW)
