From Booklist:
Whether a disaster is caused by avalanche, hurricane, computer hackers, explosion, flood, terrorist attack, or other event, this guide will help readers develop a precise, logical, and flexible plan for being prepared. Step-by-step instructions discuss creating a working disaster team, establishing a communications strategy, identifying relief and recovery agencies, developing response plans, and examining issues of cutting-edge library security. The accompanying CD contains a comprehensive directory of electronic resources and a disaster planning database with links to national agencies plus the disaster plan templates, which lay out "the rudimentary elements of a strategic response to emergency events." This valuable resource is an important addition to most professional collections. Susan Awe
