All libraries need to be ready to care for their collections in the event of a disaster.  Some of the earlier installments of this CARLI Preservation Committee series on disaster planning focused on types of disasters, preparation and training for an effective staff response, and kits and supplies for in-house recovery work.   But if your disaster is more widespread, dangerous, or damaging than your institution can reasonably or safely handle, do you have any service vendors on speed-dial?
