		     PREFACE

The Disaster Prevention, Preparedness and Recovery Plan has been
developed to cover the prevention of and the appropriate response
to disasters affecting the Library's collections.  It is intended
to provide instruction to aid Library staff in dealing with a
variety of emergency situations, including a significant section
on the salvage of collections following a disaster.  The
Emergency Manual deals with people in emergency situations and is
published separately.

Sections of the plan may be issued and updated separately.  The
head of the Conservation and Preserv.
ation Department (the
Disaster Recovery Director) will maintain the Disaster and
Collection Recovery Manual.  Two copies of the Manual will be
distributed to all members of the Disaster Recovery Team (one for
the office and one to keep at home) and to each branch library.

   INTRODUCTION

The charge to the Emergency and Disaster Committee was as
follows:

1.   Update the collections-related parts of the Library's
  Emergency and Disaster Manual to include a section on
  disaster preparedness.

2.   Formulate a collections salvage plan to include all

  components of the General Library:  Shields, Physical
  Sciences, Carlson Health Sciences, UCDMC, Agricultural
  Economics, and Harrison Research Center Libraries.

3.   Take into consideration any special requirements and
  applications of the plan during the alteration and
  expansion of Shields Library.

We have addressed all aspects of the charge in the attached
Disaster Prevention, Preparedness and Recovery Plan.  We did not
prepare detailed procedures for the unique situation and needs of
the Harrison Library, nor did we consider the physical settings
of the Agricultural Economics Library and the UCD Medical Center
Library.  We do feel, however, the basic plan can be applied to
those libraries.

The entire Emergency and Disaster Committee participated in the
discussions and contributed to the finished plan.  Consultants to
the Committee included:  Jerry Keen (Physical Plant); Larry
Larson (UC Davis Fire Department); Maureen Brodie (Services to
Handicapped Students); and Lee Tolentino (Architects and
Engineers).

       INITIAL STE.
PS IN COLLECTION SALVAGE

1.  Assemble Disaster Recovery Team at the site.

2.  As soon as the Police and/or Fire Department give permission
to enter the building, the Disaster Recovery Team and repre-
sentatives of the Physical Plant will survey the situation.

3.  Make arrangements to have the heat turned off and the air
conditioning set to full capacity.  If the regular power
source is not available, Physical Plant will provide means to
lower the temperature and dehumidify the stacks.

4.  The Team will inspect the affected areas and assess the
amount and type of damage, documenting with photographs.

5.  If Physical Plant is unable to accomplish the clean-up of the
water within necessary time limits, the Disaster Recovery
Director will decide if additional help is needed from
Library staff and volunteers.

6.  The Disaster Recovery Director will decide on the salvage
action to be taken and the amount and type of help needed.

7.  Set up a staging area for removal of filled boxes to freezing
facility.

8.  Contact freezer company with whom arrangements have
previously been made for such emergencies.

9.  Make arrangements for trucks to transport pallets of boxes to
the freezing facility.

      STABILIZATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

_____  1.  Turn off all heat.

_____  2.  Reduce temperature as much as possible.

_____  3.  Keep air conditioning systems operable and set at
   lowest temperature possible.

_____  4.  Use portable air conditioners where necessary.

_____  5.  If necessary to open windows and doors for air
   circulation, arrange for security of the
   collections.

_____  6.  Use fans to aid circulation.

_____  7.  Use dehumidifiers with fans where necessary.

_____  8.  If power is off, use portable generators for
   electrical services.  All lines must be
   waterproofed and grounded.

_____  9. Use hygrothermographs to monitor affected areas.

		  THE PACK OUT

Each wrapping/boxing team requires four people:  1 to set up the
flattened boxes, 2 to wrap the books and 1 to box.  If the
freezer wrap has not been pre-cut, one or more people will be
needed to cut strips of paper from the rolls.  See pages 27-28
for instructions on making and filling boxes.

Freezer paper can be wrapped around individual volumes, slick
side toward the book, to prevent bleeding of dyes and adhesives
(see illustration, "FILLING A BOX", on page 28).  Wrap only if
the scope of the disaster allows sufficient time to do so.
It is more important, however, to get the damaged materials
packed and to the freezing facility than it is to wrap each
volume.

Books should be boxed spine down, one layer deep, to minimize
damage to binding.  Large volumes can be laid flat.  Pack books
of the same size next to each other to minimize warpage.  File
folders are best packed vertically.  Do not attempt to remove mud
or to open books.   Boxes should not be packed tightly; swelling
will continue after the boxes are packed.

Place lids on boxes and label each end with the appropriate LC
classification letters.  Remove boxes to end of ranges and stack
no more than four boxes high.  Box collectors with hand trucks
and dollies will transfer the stacked boxes to the evacuation
site where they will be shrink-wrapped on pallets to minimize
transit damage and reduce handling costs.  Pallets will be loaded
by forklift onto trucks and transported to the freezing facility.

A count of the number of boxes shipped should be recorded at the
evacuation site.

 damp or wet books to adjacent tables on a higher floor.

Training in disaster recovery techniques is an important element
in disaster preparedness and should be available to all
staff members and mandatory for those serving as members of the
Disaster Recovery Team.  Training sessions, updates, and reviews
of new developments and technological advances should be
scheduled by the Disaster Recovery Director on a regular and
continuing basis.  In addition, staff members should be familiar
with the layout of their buildings and of possible danger areas.
They should know the location of all fire extinguishers and
alarms and how to operate them; they should also be made aware of
fire exits, alternate escape routes and appropriate evacuation
procedures.
