CCAHA
CCAHA offers emergency assistance for institutions and individuals with damaged paper-based collections by offering conservation treatment, technical information, training programs, and consultation services including on-site assistance at the time of an emergency and resources for writing emergency preparedness and response plans.
Need Immediate Assistance? CCAHA staff can provide information on damaged collections and strategies for recovering from water, fire, pest infestation, or mold outbreaks. Referrals can be provided for commercial vendors, along with suppliers of equipment and supplies needed for a recovery effort.
We have three technical bulletins as well as a list of emergency response suppliers and vendors. Click here to start developing a disaster plan for your institution.
