Disaster Resources
Through our work with the National Endowment for the Humanities, LYRASIS provides a variety of publications and linked resources for institutions to more fully develop an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of disaster planning and response.
- Disaster Assistance provides information on who to contact in case of an emergency (you can always call LYRASIS at 800-999-8558), siging up to be a volunteer in your region, and a list of other preservation programs that offer assistance.
- Prevention and Planning provides resources on risk assessment for your building and collections, writing a disaster plan, training and cooperative planning.
- Response and Recovery links resources by type of damage and material, lists services and supplies of disaster recovery, aid, and other agencies to look to for sound disaster information.
