"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. " --Publisher description.

“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.
