I have here a very informative and well-produced book (in Japanese and excellent English) entitled "Stabilization Processing". Its 28 authors set out in detail with extensive pictures the tactical and strategic measures taken by museums (cultural and natural history) in the tsunami zone to recover and restore their materials from under tons of mud, debris and flood water. 
The 255-page book was published jointly by the "Multi-organizational co-operative project for preserving and restoring assets damaged by tsunami on March 11, 2011" and the Japanese Association of Museums/ICOM Japan in 2014. 
I strongly recommend this work, but don't know how available it is. It doesn't have an ISBN number or a price, but one could try writing to the publisher:
