"The book is well-written by knowledgeable librarians. It is applicable to all types and sizes of libraries. The references are plentiful and there are many, many links to useful resources online. It has an extensive index for anyone wanting to see what the book has to say on any specific topic. This is an excellent resource, particularly for natural disasters and related problems ... [It] is a solid choice for libraries looking to write or update a disaster plan, or to consider how to help their communities in case of disaster." -- Technical Services Quarterly, "The book is easy to follow and understand. It can be used as a whole, or with reference to a specific section on a particular threat ... There are many references for further study. This book takes a much wider perspective than most other works on disaster planning in libraries. Not only is there the usual focus on planning for your library in case of disaster, there is also an examination of what your library can do to assist its community when a disaster occurs, plus tips for taking care of your staff." -- Journal of the Australian Library and Information Association, "The authors pack a lot into this book's 150-some pages of text and ... do an excellent job of making the book applicable to any type of library or disaster." -- Choice

Synopsis
Libraries are in a unique position to aid communities during times of adversity, and this comprehensive handbook's practical tools and expert guidance will help ensure that your library is thoroughly prepared for emergency response and recovery. Your library is a vital information hub and resource provider every single day, and that's doubly true when calamity strikes. In fact, your library's role as an "essential community function" during disasters is now encoded in U.S. law. Engaging as a partner in planning and preparedness will build much-needed community support should disaster strike, and even a basic plan will also save you time and stress later on. No matter where your library is in the disaster planning cycle, this handbook will make the process clearer and less daunting. You'll get tools, activities, easy-to-adapt templates, and hands-on guidance on such topics as the six phases of disaster response; 15 first-hand accounts of library disaster planning or responses, helping you identify the library services most needed during a disaster; three essential factors that will shape the form of your disaster plan; preparing for hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, floods, and earthquakes; ideas for connecting with your community's emergency response teams; federal government planning resources; pointers on working with state and local governments; a sample Memorandum of Understanding to outline mutual support for a speedier recovery; recommended courses and training, many of which are free; targeted advice for archives and special collections; sample building inspection checklists; and recommended games to help children and families prepare., Libraries are in a unique position to aid communities during times of adversity, and this comprehensive handbook's practical tools and expert guidance will help ensure that your library is thoroughly prepared for emergency response and recovery.

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.
