OBJECTIVES
To present general ways on how to conduct disaster response and recovery for: Libraries Archives Museums
Are we prepared for that? Do you have a disaster response and recovery plan at your institution?
DISASTERS
Disaster implies a sudden overwhelming and unforeseen event (Johns Hopkins, 2007?). Scope: A common measure is the number of people killed or affected.
Disaster managers will assess the speed and success of the disaster response.
DISASTERS
a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society involving widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses and impacts, which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources.
HAZARDS
Threatening event, or probability of occurrence of a potentially damaging phenomenon within a given time period and area (IFRC).
TYPES
Natural hazards are naturally occurring physical phenomena caused either by rapid or slow onset events which can be geophysical (earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis and volcanic activity), hydrological (avalanches and floods), climatological (extreme temperatures, drought and wildfires), meteorological (cyclones and storms/wave surges) or biological (disease epidemics and insect/animal plagues).
Technological or man-made hazards (complex emergencies/conflicts, famine, displaced populations, industrial accidents and transport accidents) are events that are caused by humans.
RISK FORMULA
This draws on the work of Wisner, a risk scientist in London and others.

Risk = the possibility of loss, injury, death or other consequence Hazard = a destructive phenomenon or event Exposure = duration and/or extent of a hazard Vulnerability = susceptibility to damage or harm by a hazard Manageability = the capacity to respond to Needs created by a Disaster
"Response" - any concerted effort by two (2) or more agencies, public or private, to provide assistance or intervention during or immediately after a disaster to meet the life preservation and basic subsistence needs of those people affected and in the restoration of essential public activities and facilities (RA).
RECOVERY
Disaster Recovery is the processes, plan, technology, etc. needed to recover from an unforeseen incident (Acito, nd)
Emergency evacuation
Public libraries provide: Temporary accommodation and office facilities for the emergency services A community lounge, a resting place away from danger A meeting area for families, neighbors and friends A place where experiences could be shared Entertainment for young children, with toys, books and DVDs
Distraction for adults, by way of magazines, light reading, escapist fiction Computers for people to get in touch with worried relatives and to begin the process of contacting insurance companies, banks, employers, etc Welcoming staff, happy to sit and listen to stories, read books with the children or make a cup of tea
The first 48 hours are generally regarded as the immediate emergency response period. Only re-enter the premises once the emergency services have declared the building safe. Assess the damage and take immediate steps to stabilize the environment, for example: Open doors and windows (unless security is an issue) Remove all standing water Remove wet carpets, drapes and furniture Set up dehumidifiers and fans, if appropriate
Identify what will be needed to contain the damage and begin the restoration process: Volunteers, conservation experts, library professionals, trades people, specialist recovery businesses Equipment and materials Off-site secure area for storage of undamaged items Counseling support for staff
Check with your insurance company before beginning the task of separating what can be salvaged and what has been damaged beyond repair. They may well send out an assessor, in which case the process may have to be delayed until they have gone over the site. If your insurance company is happy for you to proceed, take photographs as evidence of the scale of the losses. Allocate a disposal area and organise a mechanism to avoid unnecessary double-handling for example, hire a skip so rubbish can be dumped straight into it.
Keep detailed notes of the damage to the property, collection, IT, documents, etc. At some point in the first few weeks, you may well need to put a value on the items destroyed for insurance purposes. Work from the top down, allocating library staff to the task of restoring items from the collection, for example drying out books, and nonspecialist volunteers to more general cleaning duties.

REBUILD
If the disaster affects the library only and we are unable to enter the library, we will meet in the lobby of the Bush Campus Center. If the disaster affects the library and surrounding buildings and we are unable to enter the library, we will meet in the lobby of the Klump Academic Center. If the disaster affects the entire campus, we will meet at the coffee shop at Wegmans.
Refer to your disaster response checklist (page 29, disaster plan manual).
PRESERVATION DEPARTMENT
NDRRMC
WET BOOKS
DO NOT * open or close books * separate single sheets * press water out of wet books - the paper is too fragile when wet * wipe off mud or dirt * remove book covers or separate materials * disturb wet file boxes, prints, drawings or photographs
"Such handling may result in extensive and irreparable damage to materials that otherwise might be salvaged" (Peter Waters)
WET BOOKS
DO * stand books on their heads (or use support to keep them standing) * interleave absorbent paper every 50 pages (toilet/tissue, paper towels, or blotting paper will do; just replace every now and then) * use fan to keep air circulating, never expose books to dry under the sun * keep temperature below 65 degrees F (approx. 18 degrees C) * when completely dry, lay books flat but not stacked together
POPQUIZ
ANSWER - MERRIAM-WEBSTER
the act of saving or rescuing property in danger (as from fire) property saved from destruction in a calamity (as a wreck or fire)
INSURANCE
Talk to your insurance agent about your disaster plan and make sure you understand your level of cover.

LAMMS
IFLA (libraries), ICA (archives), ICOM (museums), ICOMOS (monuments & sites) and CCAAA (audiovisual archives)
The Blue Shield is the cultural equivalent of the Red Cross. It is the protective emblem specified in the 1954 Hague Convention (Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict). Hague Convention - Written in the wake of the widespread cultural devastation perpetrated by Nazi Germany during World War II
the planning of emergency measures for protection against fire or structural collapse. The mission of all involved with Blue Shield is to work for the protection of the world's cultural heritage.
The focus of the LAMMS Coordinating Council currently lies in the following areas: copyright and other legal matters political lobby preservation and protection of cultural heritage global digital libraries standardization
ARCHIVES
Guidelines for the care of some of the more common materials to be affected by a natural disaster - NARA (The National Archives and Records Administration) The listed web sites and recovery guidelines provided are in no way an exhaustive list. http://www.archives.gov/preservation/disaster -response/salvage-procedures.html
WET PHOTOGRAPHS
Know the priority photographs and transparencies to be salvaged. Consult a conservator to determine the ph of the water In handling photographs, do not touch emulsion, hold by the edges or margins. Prepare all the needed supplies: blotter paper, cheese cloth, distilled water, sponges, dehumidifier, etc.
Post
a warning sign (do not touch) Vaccum the soot. Proper handling. Temporary storage conditions for sooty material should be dry to avoid activation of acidic materials. http://cool.conservationus.org/coolaic/jaic/articles/jaic39-01-002.html
Information in all forms must be collected and preserved for future generations (Ancestry.com).
