Disaster response administrator

The disaster response administrator is typically a library director, senior curator, or a senior delegate of that person. Since salvaging library material can be expensive, this person should be familiar with the collections, the available sources of funding, and the administrative channels within the library and the institution. The disaster response administrator is responsible for the following: authorizes procurement of workers, supplies, equipment, and services; seeks additional emergency funding from the institution or other sources if necessary; makes all final decisions on how much money can be committed to which parts of the salvage effort; makes all final decisions on what to salvage or where to concentrate salvage efforts; coordinates insurance matters; keeps the records needed to prepare an insurance claim; documents all expenses (including those for temporary personnel overtime); documents losses; organizes records and photographs of damage to the structure and collections; and serves as the public relations contact for the news media.
