SUMMARY OF EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

MEDICAL EMERGENCY: CALL 911  Describe the problem, give the persons name, give the exact location and your name.  Do not try to administer first aid; you may do more harm than good.  See "Medical Emergencies" in Chapter 6 for further instructions.

FIRE: CALL 911  If you have any doubts about your ability to extinguish the fire, secure and leave the area.   To secure the area, turn off all computer terminals.  Save documents before turning off word processing  terminals.  All personnel should follow the instructions of the fire department as listed in Chapter 2 "Disaster Procedures".

FLOODING OR WATER DAMAGE  Throw a plastic drop cloth (see Chapter 7, "Supplies") over the affected area, then call the appropriate persons.  Move as many books as possible out of the flooded area, if it is safe to do so.  See Chapter 4 in the Disaster Plan, entitled "Recovery Procedures" for the instructions on how to treat each type of library material affected.

VANDALISM:  Do not confront the vandal.  Walk discreetly to the nearest phone and call 911.  Arrange a meeting place so you can direct the police to the area affected.  See Chapter 6, "Other Emergencies" for more instructions.

POWER FAILURE: Turn off all terminals.  Secure the area before leaving.  Upon return wait for further instructions before turning terminals on again.

FIRE SAFETY TIPS

ALWAYS KEEP YOUR BACK TO THE ESCAPE ROUTE

NEVER ATTEMPT TO EXTINGUISH A LARGE FIRE

WHEN USING A FIRE EXTINGUISH - REMEMBER THE ACRONYM - PASS

o    PULL

o    AIM

o    SQUEEZE

o    SWEEP

CHAPTER 2

CHAPTER  3

STAFF MOBILIZATION - PHASE 1

A MAJOR DISASTER IN THE LIBRARY WOULD NECESSITATE THE EVACUATION OF ALL  PERSONNEL.  IN SUCH A SITUATION, ACTUAL RECOVERY PROCEDURES TO SALVAGE THE COLLECTIONS WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE BUILDING WAS OFFICIALLY DECLARED SAFE TO ENTER.  ALTHOUGH SUCH A SITUATION IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT, THE BRIEF OUTLINE OF PROCEDURES LISTED BELOW WILL BE FOLLOWED.

THE LIBRARIAN ON DUTY WILL ALERT THE DIRECTOR, WHO WILL NOTIFY THE BOARD PRESIDENT WHO WILL THEN NOTIFY THE BOARD MEMBERS, AND THE VOLUNTEER COMMITTEE HEAD.  THE  BOARD PRESIDENT  WILL CALL THE  DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE WHO WILL BE  HEADED BY THE BOARD VICE-PRESIDENT.

DAMAGE ASSESSMENT - PHASE 2

MEETING LOCATION FOR REPORT  AND PHASE 1 PLANNING:

IF THE BUILDING CAN BE ENTERED, MEETINGS WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE LIBRARY BUILDING.  IF THE BUILDING CANNOT BE ENTERED, MEETINGS WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE CHATSWORTH COMMUNITY BUILDING.    POLICE AND FIRE OFFICIALS WILL ADVISE THE DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE LEADER WHEN THE BUILDING CAN BE ENTERED FOR RECOVERY PURPOSES.  THE DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE WILL COMMUNICATE THE EXTENT OF DAMAGES AND ACCESSIBILITY.

BASIC SITE VISIT PROCEDURES:

·          RECORD THE EXTENT OF DAMAGES

·         TYPE OF DAMAGES

·         TYPE OF MATERIAL DAMAGED

·         EXTENT OF DAMAGES

·         BRIEF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

·         CONDITION OF SURROUNDING AREA

·         PHOTOGRAPHS OF DAMAGE

RECOVERY PREPARATION - PHASE 3

AFTER PHASE 2 DAMAGE ASSESSMENT, THE DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE WILL BEGIN TO PLAN A SALVAGE OPERATION FOR DAMAGED MATERIALS DEPENDING ON THE RESULTS OF THE PHASE 2 DAMAGE ASSESSMENT VISIT.

·         ESTABLISH PRIORITIES

·         DEVELOP  AND ASSIGN WORK USING NAMES AND PHONE NUMBERS FROM CHAPTER 5, "FLOOR PLANS AND PRIORITIES"

·         ASSEMBLE SUPPLIES FROM CHAPTER 7, "SUPPLIES"

·         SCHEDULE FOR IMPLEMENTATION

·         SET UP COMMUNICATION AND ESTABLISH A CHAIN OF COMMAND FOR RECOVERY PLAN.

THE LEADER OF THE DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE WILL ASK A TEAM MEMBER TO TAKE MINUTES DURING ALL THE MEETINGS , TELEPHONE FOR SUPPLIES, PLAN FOR GETTING SUPPLIES TO LIBRARY BUILDING, AND OTHER DUTIES AS NEEDED.

CHAPTER 4

RECOVERY PROCEDURES FOR THE FOLLOWING MATERIALS:

·         RECOVERY PROCEDURES FOR DAMP BOOKS AND MINOR EMERGENCIES

·         RECOVERY PROCEDURES FOR WET BOOKS AND PAPER

·         RECOVERY PROCEDURES FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS

·         RECOVERY PROCEDURES FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC FILMS

·         RECOVERY PROCEDURES FOR MAGNETIC TAPE FILMS

·         RECOVERY PROCEDURES FOR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT

RECOVERY PROCEDURES FOR DAMP BOOKS AND MINOR EMERGENCIES

DAMP BOOKS ARE DEFINED AS BOOKS THAT ARE NOT DRIPPING WATER.  THEY CAN BE WET AROUND THE EDGES OR WET HALFWAY THROUGH OR JUST COOL TO THE TOUCH.  THESE MATERIALS CAN BE AIR DRIED.   USE CAUTION.

1. ALL AIR DRYING MUST TAKE PLACE IN A COOL, DRY PLACE.  THE TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE BELOW 70 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY BELOW 55%.  USE FANS AND DEHUMIDIFIERS AND KEEP AIR CIRCULATING IN THE AREA.

2. KEEP THE DRYING AREA CLEAN BY REMOVING WET DEBRIS.

3. NEVER TRY TO RESHAPE OR FORCE DAMP VOLUMES OPEN AS THIS WILL CAUSE HARMFUL DISTORTION.  THEY CAN BE TREATED AFTER DRYING.

4. SPONGE OFF MUD AND DEBRIS USING CLEAN WATER BUT ONLY IF MATERIAL DOES NOT HAVE WATER SOLUBLE COMPONENTS SUCH AS WATERCOLORS, RUNNY INKS, TEMPERA AND DYES.  INSTEAD, AIR DRY MATERIALS AND BRUSH OFF DEBRIS WHEN COMPLETELY DRY.

5. MINIMIZE HANDLING OF WATER DAMAGED BOOKS.  PAPER AND BINDINGS ARE VERY FRAGILE WHEN WET.  ADDITIONAL AIR DRYING INSTRUCTIONS FOR WET BOOKS ARE ON FILE IN LIBRARY AND DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE LEADER.

SUPPLIES: DEHUMIDIFIERS, NOTE PAPER, LARGE STRONG TRASH BAGS, FANS, SPONGES, CLEAN WATER SOURCE, AND UNPRINTED PAPER TOWELS

RECOVERY PROCEDURES FOR WET BOOKS AND PAPER

WET BOOKS ARE DEFINED AS BOOKS THAT ARE DRIPPING WATER.  THEY ARE EXTREMELY FRAGILE AND MUST BE HANDLED CAREFULLY AS PAGES CAN EASILY FALL OUT AND COVERS CAN SEPARATE FROM THE TEXT BLOCK.  WET BOOKS SHOULD BE VACUUM FREEZE DRIED BY A PROFESSIONAL IN THE CASE OF A MAJOR EMERGENCY.  VACUUM FREEZE DRYING DRIES THE MATERIAL WITH THE LEAST DISTORTION AS THE WATER GOES DIRECTLY FROM A LIQUID TO GASEOUS STATE (VAPOR) WITHOUT PASSING THROUGH THE SOLID STATE.  MEAT FREEZERS AND HOUSEHOLD FREEZERS DO ALLOW ICE TO FORM AND CONSEQUENTLY ARE NOT ADEQUATE.

1. CONTROL THE ENVIRONMENT.  THE TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE KEPT BELOW 55 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AND BELOW 55% RELATIVE HUMIDITY.  KEEP AIR IN THE AREA CIRCULATING.

2. GLOSSY PAPER SUCH AS MAGAZINE PAPER, ART BOOKS, ETC IS NOT SALVAGEABLE AFTER 5-6 HOURS IN WATER.  MOVE ON IMMEDIATELY TO SALVAGEABLE MATERIAL.

3. NEVER TRY TO RESHAPE OR FORCE WET BOOKS OPEN AS THIS WILL CAUSE HARMFUL DISTORTION OR FURTHER MECHANICAL DAMAGE. 

4. SPONGE OF MUD AND DEBRIS WITH CLEAN WATER ONLY.

SUPPLIES: DEHUMIDIFIERS, NOTE PAPER, LARGE STRONG TRASH BAGS, FANS, SPONGES, CLEAN WATER SOURCE, AND UNPRINTED PAPER TOWELS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON FILE IN THE LIBRARY AND WITH THE DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE LEADER.

RECOVERY PROCEDURES  FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS

MOST PHOTOGRAPHS CAN BE SAVED FROM WATER AND SMOKE DAMAGE BUT NOT FIRE DAMAGE AS THE EMULSION LAYER WILL MELT FROM THE HEAT. 

1. ONLY FREEZE PHOTOGRAPHS IF THEY CAN BE PROFESSIONALLY DRIED AS ICE CRYSTALS MAY RUPTURE THE EMULSION LAYER LEAVING MARKS ON THE FILM.

2. WHEN HANDLING PHOTOGRAPHS, ALWAYS DO SO AT THE EDGE AS THE EMULSION LAYER WILL SUFFER DAMAGE EASILY.

3. DRY PHOTOGRAPHS SHOULD ALWAYS BE HANDLED WITH WHITE COTTON GLOVES TO PREVENT FINGERPRINTS.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON FILE IN THE LIBRARY AND WITH THE DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE LEADER.

RECOVERY PROCEDURES FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC FILMS

PHOTOGRAPHIC FILM INCLUDE ALL TYPES OF PROCESSED FILMS SUCH AS MICROFILM, MICROFICHE, PHOTOGRAPHIC FILM, SLIDES, AND MOVIE REEL FILM.  IN MOST CASES OF FIRE, THE EXTREME HEAT WILL DAMAGE FILM BEYOND REPAIR AS THEY WILL MELT.  SMOKE AND WATER DAMAGED MATERIAL CAN BE SALVAGED.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON FILE IN THE LIBRARY AND WITH THE DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE LEADER

RECOVERY PROCEDURES FOR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT

IF THE BUILDING IS EVACUATED, THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN:

1. "SAVE" WORK BEING DONE ON SYSTEMS AND CLOSE FILES.

2. TURN OFF WORKSTATIONS AND PERIPHERALS
