Disaster Response & Recovery
General
Information - Saving Family Treasures - Salvage
Procedures
"A pro-active rather than
re-active approach to disaster preparation is the best
means of mitigating damage from natural disasters or
other forms of destruction.
However, despite
systematic planning efforts, when emergencies do occur —
whether they are small scale or catastrophic — they can
be overwhelming. Information in this section provides
information and guidance on recovering various types of
record materials.
Please be Aware
- Always put health
and human safety first before trying to save
important collections, papers, books, or
photographs.
- Make sure the area
has been declared safe to enter by the appropriate
authorities."
---The
National Archives
