Fire, flood, earthquake, vandalism, a terrorist attack-the issues
of safety measures, emergency response, and disaster recovery have
now become an important part of the planning strategies for most
organizations. For the information organization, such as a library,
archives, or record center, this responsibility has taken on new
dimensions with the proliferation of various forms of electronic
media. 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 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. Indispensible for every
information organization.
