LIBRARY AS SAFE HAVEN: DISASTER PLANNING, RESPONSE, AND RECOVERY

摘要

With all of the disasters in recent history, including hurricanes, major earthquakes, tsunamis, and tornadoes, it's no wonder there are now a number of resources designed to promote planning for the potentiality of a disaster. Disaster preparedness means having the right resources in the right place at the right time should we face a threat to our collections, staff, or buildings. It is about minimizing risks and maximizing success in recovery. The American Library Association's ongoing How-To-Do-It series has'a goal of helping libraries develop their disaster preparedness and response actions.
