PREP Selected Bibliography

The intent of this bibliography is to provide further reading in the field of emergency preparedness and disaster recovery. The bibliography is arranged in the same basic order as the PREP manual. General readings come first, followed by citations to materials dealing specifically with preparation and risk management. Special emphasis has been placed on materials dealing with disaster recovery, which have been arranged by format.

Given the amount of new material being written in the field of emergency preparedness and disaster recovery, users of this bibliography are encouraged to keep up with the current literature in professional museum/library/archives journals. The primary, and most current, bibliography in the field is maintained at The University of Tulsa by Toby Murray, Preservation Officer. Requests for the most current version of Bibliography on Disasters. Disaster Preparedness and Disaster Recovery should be sent to her at: University of Tulsa, McFarlin Library, 600 South College Avenue, Tulsa, OK 74104 (918) 631-3800. Minimal postage and photocopying charges will apply.

An effort has been made to include items that readers of this manual can find in most libraries, archives, or museums. In addition, the AMIGOS Bibliographic Council's Preservation Service in Dallas maintains an extensive library on emergency preparedness and disaster recovery. Photocopies can be requested through Tom F. R. Clareson, Preservation Service Manager, AMIGOS Bibliographic Council, Inc., 12200 Park Central Drive, Suite 500, Dallas, TX 75251 (800) 843-8482.
