This document outlines the stages of developing a disaster preparedness plan for a university library. It begins with forming a committee to oversee the project. A risk analysis survey and capability assessment are then conducted. A revised action plan is created along with a disaster preparedness manual covering protocols. A training program is developed and a budget proposed. The plan is presented for final defense before implementation. The goal is to enhance the library's preparedness through strategic planning and community involvement.
