Abstract

Since no one can predict when a disaster will strike, all libraries and archives need a disaster preparedness and recovery plan, but most archivists and librarians do not know how to go about developing one. While the task at hand is daunting, so is the literature, which contains volumes of texts and journal articles that belabor the subject. This article, based on the varying experience of the two authors, is a summary of the planning process. It will offer the reader the basics required to develop an effective disaster preparedness and recovery plan.
