Be Prepared! Tips for Museums and Libraries in the Path of Hurricane Florence

[Emergency preparedness checklist]

For those in the path of Hurricane Florence, it’s important to prepare for sustained winds, heavy rain, and potential flooding. The following tips are from the Heritage Emergency National Task Force (HENTF<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001_9DnpLRTsQ5Ik1aYgEAe9M5TAb6uion7jjfX4DJAb1RbevAhT31kMSDJIE92sZxuYVndwHmJ-B06Sq3dKMcdjUBRi1rPbXLSHZvP-mkz5p0ewUlEGyOEzKVJUasJwfU2vQYpNJBIccJyoaNHzbUuvemYIsCPAIpZ&c=jP0CPN0u7NohUFBTkJmSSEq_xIAC9ZuB6rIk4CANd-_xcNiUBi-5xw==&ch=CEr-bdlGCerj51sJrcLBrAwpgv4Hhd4CNHGX1Xl9fstNGOAy4McuTA==>), a partnership of 42 national service organizations and federal agencies, including IMLS.

·     Gather your staff and review your disaster plan today. No disaster plan? Put that at the top of the to-do list once the hurricane passes (and hope you didn’t need it this time).

·     If you have a disaster plan, make sure everyone has a printed copy to take home. An electronic version may be useless if you lose power.

·     Make sure staff, volunteer, and board contact lists are up to date. Determine how you will communicate with one another before, during, and after the storm.

·     Make sure your insurance and disaster recovery vendor contact information is readily available.

·     If you don’t already have up-to-date images (photographic/video) of your facility’s exterior and interior, including storage areas, now’s the time to take them. Being able to illustrate how your building and collections looked before damage will be helpful if the need arises to pursue recovery financing.

·     Back up electronic records and store the back-ups off-site or in the cloud.

·     Secure outdoor furniture, bike racks, book drops, etc. – anything that can become a projectile in strong winds.

·     Move collections that are in areas vulnerable to flooding – i.e., the floor, the basement – or susceptible to rain – near windows or under roofs.

·     If you have time, cut lengths of plastic sheeting to be able to throw them over shelves or equipment should the building envelope be compromised.

·     Know the location and shut-off procedures for water, electricity, and gas.

·     Review individual or family plans. You’ll feel better attending to your organization knowing that your loved ones are safe.
