3 Congratulations, you just survived a natural disaster--no one was hurt, but now.. WHAT DO YOU DO?

4 This presentation will cover: The basic supplies to have on hand before disaster strikes

5 We will spend tie preparing: Docuents you need in an eergency.

6 This session will NOT: 1. Help you prepare for a terrorist attack, or any other security issues. 2. Replace any eergency plan ipleented by your institution, although hopefully this plan will be incorporated into it. 3. Provide any first aid inforation. MOST IMPORTANTLY...

7 DO NOT RISK ANYONE'S LIFE! Always follow the instructions of the first responders, be they fireen, police or hazat teas. Do not enter the library to rescue books until you have been cleared to enter the space by the first responders.

8 Eergency vs. Disaster Eergency An unanticipated or threatening event requires iediate attention Disaster An eergency that gets out of control. An eergency can becoe a disaster if iediate action is not taken to protect staff, patrons and collections.

9 5 steps to prevent an eergency turning into a disaster

10 1a. Preventative Action The first step in preventing a disaster is to survey your library for potential disasters. Look for signs of leaks, check electrical cords for signs of wear that could cause fires and secure ites that ight fall in an earthquake. Then you can start your pocket response plan (see step 5).

11 1b.Know your region's specific risks. If your library is in an earthquake prone zone, you would want to ake sure the shelves are secure and perhaps even install the bars that prevent books fro falling of the shelves. Make sure each staff eber has a whistle and light stick taped to his or her desk to help rescue the in the event of an eergency.

12 1c. Prevent Water Incursions This is ore iportant in regions prone to hurricanes, however, a burst pipe can cause just as uch daage as a natural disaster. Try not to store ites on the floor. Keep plastic sheeting and duct tape on hand to seal out water.

13 2.Eergency Supply Checklist paper towels asking tape duct tape plastic bags 2 large sponges bucket scissors flashlight light sticks extra batteries 10 dust asks clothespins 1 roll plastic sheeting disposable gloves heavy duty gloves 2 dozen pencils 2 black peranent arkers lined paper pad rubber boots hard hats vest with pockets plastic aprons clothesline

14 3a.What can you handle in-house? A sall water incursion can be cleaned up and books can be cared for by just a few people with a liited aount of tie and resources. If it's sunny, or you have a long, war hallway, you can stand open dap books to dry on a table with a fan blowing to speed up things.

15 3 b.freezing will buy you tie If books are soaked, it is better to have the professionally freeze dried. Until that can be done, you can place the books in a freezer on site, or with one you've contacted in advance to prevent old growth.

16 3c. Prepare books for freezing Use clean white paper towels, preferable the folded kind so you don't need to waste tie tearing sheets, to interleave the books every couple of pages to absorb oisture. Then pack tightly spine edge down into boxes to to prevent warping. Be careful lifting boxes of wet books which are very heavy.

17 3d. Hang up single sheet ites Use a clothesline and clothespins to dry single sheet ites or photographs or lay ites on a table on top of clean white bond paper. After ites are dry, they will take up ore space to store as they ay warp.

18 3e. Glossy "Clay Coated" Paper The special paper frequently used to print illustrations is prone to being stuck together very rapidly and should be frozen iediately. A stack of glossy paper can be separated carefully by pressing down a sheet of polyester fil on the top ite, gently pulling the page off, and continue to the next page with a fresh sheet of fil. Reove fil fro pages to hang dry.

19 4. Have resources on file There are any good sites with in depth details on how to prepare for an eergency and what to do once disaster strikes. You ay eail e at to get a link to all of these resources. You can download inforation to a usb drive, which is very durable, but you will still need paper copies if there is a power failure.

20 4b.Wheel of Fortune This eergency response wheel is the ost efficient way to have basic inforation on eergency response on hand for all staff ebers, it even has a agnet to keep it handy.

21 5. Pocket Response Plan This single sheet contains on one side inforation you need to COMMUNICATE and on the other side inforation on what ACTIONS need to be taken to prevent your eergency fro becoing a disaster.
