About the Author :
Emma Dadson is widely known in the library and heritage sectors as an expert in emergency recovery and response and has worked with the UK's leading document restoration service, Harwell, for 12 years, training over 3,000 individuals.

Review :
According to a 2005 Heritage Foundation study, 80 percent of U.S. collecting institutions do not have a written emergency plan with staff trained to carry it out. Lack of time and concern about cost are often cited as reasons. In response, Dadson marshals more than a decade of disaster-recovery experience to help libraries and other institutions fast-track emergency plans designed to minimize costly damage in situations such as fire, flood, earthquake, and utility failure. ... Incorporating case studies, exercises, and templates, this practical manual lays out a framework that is both comprehensive and customizable. Although materials preservation is covered in detail, Dadson also addresses issues that may be overlooked, such as business continuity, communication, and facilities restoration. A concluding chapter on implementation provides a valuable reminder of the importance of gaining staff buy-in, testing, and training in the emergency-planning process. The book is recommended for libraries of all types.
