Disaster response and salvage

British Library Training Day

Wednesday 10 September 2014

The British Library Centre for Conservation
96 Euston Road, London NW1 2DB
Location Details

This intensive training day focuses on preparing for disaster response and salvage. The trainer uses experience of responding to real incidents to demonstrate how planning can minimise the impact of emergencies in libraries and archives as well as outlining the practical steps to take when responding to situations. The day includes an emergency decision-making exercise and a hands-on salvage session. By the end of the day participants will be able to:

identify the key issues that a disaster plan needs to address
give examples of the decisions to be made when responding to an incident
source salvage equipment to build a disaster kit
process a variety of wet items.

The day is led Emma Dadson of Harwell Document Restoration Services.
