Condition
Purpose of the plan
The Disaster Management Plan provides information and procedures to ensure the safety of the collection whilst in temporary storage. It details how staff should respond to disasters that may impact the collection, how to advise storage contractors in the event of a disaster, and ultimately how to manage the ongoing recovery of collection items.
Treatment
Developing the plan
A detailed risk assessment is carried out to determine potential and ongoing threats to the collection. The assessment then informs the recommendations made to mitigate risks identified.
Plan outcomes
The disaster plan identifies a clear step-by-step process for responding to a disaster, including how to prioritise damaged items to ensure the best outcome.
The Disaster Plan is to be stored in a hard copy form, as well as being electronically accessible for collection staff and the storage supplier.
