Sorry to
bother everyone on the list but
does
anyone know how I can get OFF this list? I've requested to be removed many
times in the past year, to no avail! I'm not involved in a
library-related industry any longer, and no offense, but the PADG emails are
simply adding to the maddening emails I don't need!

The Cooperative Preservation Strategies Discussion Group met for the
first time in San Antonio,
TX. This new discussion group was formed by
combining the Cooperative Preservation Discussion Group and the Small to
Mid-sized Preservation Program Discussion Group. We invited two speakers to lead
our discussion on planning for disaster recovery.
Lori Foley, Director of Field Service for the Northeast
Document Conservation Center (NEDCC), Andover, MA introduced a new
tool to assist cultural institutions with the creation of disaster
recovery plans. dPlan is a free online planning tool that was developed with
IMLS National Leadership Grant funds. dPlan is an easy-to-use template which
provides up-to-date disaster recovery information and enables institutions of
any size to create a disaster recovery plan. <>The plan has been
available for use by institutions in
Massachusetts since 2004 and will
soon be available to institutions outside
Massachusetts. It contains a list
of disaster recovery suppliers for Massachusettes and nation wide providers.
dPlan allows each institution to add information about their local disaster
recovery suppliers. As the number of institutions across the country using dPlan
grows, the NEDCC will incorporate these local suppliers into dPlan. Currently,
dPlan can be viewed by institutions outside of Massachusettes at www.zaks.net/dplan. When dPlan is ready for
release to all, it will be found at www.dplan.org.

Sheryl Davis has been Preservation Officer at
Univ. of CA-Riverside
Libraries since 1985. She recently moved to Special
Collections full-time. In 1987, she founded the first disaster response network
in California, the Inland Empire
Libraries Disaster Response Network (IELDRN). Mutual aid agreements allow
libraries and other institutions in a common geographic area to plan to assist
one another in times of disaster. When a disaster occurs, a quick response time
can be essential to mitigate further damage. A mutual aid agreement can offer a
readily available source of trained staff and recovery supplies.
<>
The IELDRN libraries agreed to pay a one-time $150
fee to join. This fee was enough to buy the recovery supplies and cargo
containers to establish the network. Annual workshops are offered.
Network meetings are held at the various libraries and give the members
an opportunity to do a walk-through of the site. Each member library agrees
to replenish the disaster supplies used to at their library. For more
information about the IELDRN agreement, go to ieldrn.org.

Another helpful resource to be aware of is the
Disaster Mitigation Planning Assistance Website, http://matrix.msu.edu/~disaster/index.php.
This site provides lists of disaster recovery suppliers and examples of disaster
recovery plans.
