Booklist Review

The third edition of this extremely helpful volume comes out during one of the worst weather systems in years tornadoes and floods in the South and Midwest following a summer of drought and wildfires. This how-to guide shows libraries, archives, and museums how to make a disaster plan; how to handle a disaster, including PR; how to clean, repair, and replace damaged items; and how to deal with a grief-stricken staff. The appendixes provide checklists and forms to create a disaster plan and return to normal. The work ends with a directory of associations, organizations, and companies; a comprehensive bibliography; and an index. This volume should be in the office of every library, museum, or archival director, and copies of the plan at the office, at home, and in a safe-deposit box.--Landry, Abbie Copyright 2010 Booklist
