"The authors take the approach that disaster recovery planning must touch every
department of an organization and that emergency response must be a carefully
mapped strategy. This broad-based approach to "integrated disaster planning"
explains each phase of disaster planning, with chapters covering prevention
planning, protection planning, preparedness planning, response planning, and
recovery planning. The authors consider collections, records, facilities, and systems
and include a chapter on post-disaster planning as well. The authors also cover

4. federal and local assistance programs and list other sources for financial assistance.
Although the main thrust of the book is the protection of documents, human safety
in case of disaster is stressed explicitly and implicitly throughout. " --Publisher

“The authors intend this book to return some of that generosity [received after they
sustained a fire and a flood] by providing the reader with practical information
about every step of the planning, response, and recovery process and by offering
case studies from multiple libraries, each with different types of disasters.” --from
the introduction.
