Preservation Field Guide to Emergency Response

The Heritage Preservation has developed this useful guide -

• Follow step-by-step instructions tailored to the scope of your emergency: what to do first, whom to call, how to prevent further damage.
• Form a response team to deal with multiple tasks: working with emergency responders, assessing and documenting damage, ensuring health and safety of staff, and setting up a salvage operation.
• Stabilize your collections with advice from professionals on handing the most common types of damage from water, mold, corrosion, pests, and other threats. A companion DVD shows you how!
