Initial Response
Collecting recovery materials
Stabilizing the facility
Assessing the situation
Arranging for supplies

Assessing the
Situation
Minor or Major Disaster?
![Page 7: Salvaging Water Soaked Material. Types of Flooding.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050916/5a4d1b6e7f8b9ab0599b43c2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Minor or Moderate Disaster
Where is it?
How many records are damaged?
What materials are damaged?
How long have the records been wet?
![Page 8: Salvaging Water Soaked Material. Types of Flooding.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050916/5a4d1b6e7f8b9ab0599b43c2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Major Disaster
Where is the damage?
How many records are damaged?
What kind of water damage?
What materials are damaged?

Stabilizing the Facility
Respond to materials soaked by pipe corrosion, mud & debris from a flood, or salt water
Do not deal with material if contaminated by sewage

Critical Time: 24-48 Hours
Biggest adversary is High Humidity
When the relative humidity in storage areas rises above 60% for more than several days there is a risk of mold growth

Recovery Efforts
Setting Priorities
Air drying

Setting Priorities
High Value Material Historic Monetary
Irreplaceable Material Manuscripts Land Records

Other Priorities
Computer Data
Fragile Materials

Air Drying -Excellent for drying small quantities of damp and partially wet material
-Excellent for drying wet materials in a major disaster when, especially if recovery services are unavailable

Air Drying
Takes lots of space and people
Air dry indoors instead of outdoors
Use fans

Books
1. Drain book and stand upright
2. Insert interleaves about every 10 pages
3. Change interleaves
4. Flatten book

PaperDocuments
1. Spread documents out over blotters
2. Change blotters when they have become too wet
3. Be careful of Soluble Media- dry these face up, and do not blot

Photographs
Avoid touching the surface of photographic prints and negatives
Most prints can be successfully air dried face up.
Change blotting material as it gets soaked

Oversize Material
May need more than one person to help move
Keep rolled or folded
![Page 22: Salvaging Water Soaked Material. Types of Flooding.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050916/5a4d1b6e7f8b9ab0599b43c2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Audio Visual
Material Do not freeze If necessary, clean
debris from AV material.
If possible, support vertically as they dry
May require specialized recovery service
