PROTECTING INFORMATION CENTERS FROM DISASTERS: A STRATEGIC EMERGENCY MODEL PROPOSAL

Abstract

Although there are many studies in the literature on the risk of information centers being affected by disasters and the preparation of information centers for disasters the diversity of disasters and emergencies necessitates the development of different preparation and response models for each event. These structures are evaluated like other structures in the standards of protection of information centers from emergencies and disasters. However, there are many people and employees in information centers at the same time which is a risk increasing factor. Therefore, priority protection standards need to be developed in these structures. Libraries, archives, art galleries, information houses, museums etc. and the objects (tangible, printed, electronic etc.) that are included in the information centers are places that contribute to the development of science, art and technology and they should definitely be protected from all kinds of disaster risks. Exhibition and storage areas in museums; especially objects located in storage areas in libraries, face various dangers caused by environmental causes, disasters and people based. These hazards can turn into risks when necessary precautions are not taken and cause serious damage to objects. For this reason, the factors that may cause the deterioration of library, archive and museum materials should be determined and institutions should be prepared for disasters. It is also important to ensure the safety of life and property of all visitors/users who benefit from the institutions. Strategic decisions should be taken and implemented to protect people, objects and the buildings trio from emergency and disaster risks. In this study; emergency and disaster risks have been elaborated in the information centers and an emergency model has been introduced regarding the measures to be taken against these risks.
