The Learning Resources Standing Committee (LRSC) of the Council of Instructional Affairs (CIA) is concerned with preserving the learning resources in Florida community college libraries. We also believe that it is important to protect and preserve the repository of any materials that aid to the cultural development of a community. In this spirit, we compiled an online list of resources and helpful guidance for preventing the destruction of these collections.

Beyond Florida: Library Disaster Preparedness - Plans, Manuals, Procedures, etc.

The Generic Disaster Plan Workbook by the Californian Preservation Program provides a framework to assist libraries in writing a disaster plan. In addition the workbook, they also have a Library Disaster Plan Template to be used in conjunction with the Disaster Planning and Preparedness Guidelines to prepare institutional emergency plans that include collections priorities and disaster response procedures.

The State Library of Ohio designed a disaster preparedness manual, A Disaster Preparedness Plan for Small Public Libraries – 2002.
