Advance planning includes having workflows in place to address large-scale disasters that exceed the resources of the institution for effective response. Emergency vendors that specialize in response and are capable of handling a large volume of material can provide this coverage.

The Library of Congress Preservation Directorate created a model Collections Emergency Response Contract [PDF: 230 KB / 42 p.] to aid other institutions in the process of developing a contract for collections emergency response. The model contract describes the services and associated requirements for stabilization and recovery of affected collections when an institution is confronted with a disaster over a certain magnitude.
