Information and documentation — Emergency
preparedness and response
1 Scope
This document provides a context for emergency planning, response and recovery for all types of
an archive, library or museum collections in light of other existing plans. It provides responders and
other stakeholders with an outline for planning, responding and recovering. This document does not
address the causes of a critical event, but the consequences and wider impacts. This document outlines
a cycle for developing, exercising and reviewing a plan, and how to present a plan. It aims to encourage
responders to develop their capabilities in emergency preparedness and touches on some elements of
response and recovery, where relevant, by highlighting indicators of good practice.
It is not intended to be an operations manual as there is no single approach that meets the needs of
every site, nor is there one single set of organizational arrangements that is appropriate to each and
every type of emergency.

4.1 Process of preparing
4.1.1 General
Preparing is a continuous cycle of planning, organizing, equipping, training, evaluating and improving
procedures to ensure effective co-ordination and the enhancement of capabilities to respond and
recover in the event of an emergency.
Figure 1 illustrates this process.
© ISO 2019 – All rights reserved 3

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
ISO 21110:2019(E)

Figure 1 — Process of preparing
NOTE See Annex C for a detailed diagram of emergency planning.
4.1.2 Establishing an emergency committee
An emergency committee shall be established.
This committee is responsible for the emergency preparedness and response plan. Senior management
should be directly involved in the committee. This committee shall be responsible for:
— preparing an emergency preparedness and response plan;
— managing an integrated response and recovery to an emergency affecting or threatening collections
and their environment.
The emergency committee should include:
— the emergency preparedness and response plan coordinator with a background in conservation
and/or collections care or substantial knowledge of collections and buildings;
— senior management with knowledge of the different emergency plans within the institution (i.e.
business continuity plan, emergency communication plan, etc.);
— full range of service groups;
— experts with knowledge of:
— logistical implementation issues such as financing, insurance, and governmental support;
— different emergency plans within the institution;
— conservation and preservation;
— collections and their priorities;
— stacks and storage management;
— heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) and other building systems.
— other stakeholders.
Expertise may be recruited from outside the institution as needed.
NOTE Annex A gives a list of stakeholders and their roles during an incident.
4.1.3 Establishing a documented program
The institution shall have a documented and scheduled program that includes:
— written policy approved by the leadership;
— established program goals and objectives;
— established program plans and procedures that safeguard the collections;
4 © ISO 2019 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
ISO 21110:2019(E)

— budget, purchase, and maintenance of standard emergency supplies and equipment;
— review process for continuous improvement;
— training plan and training programme.
4.1.4 Stating the emergency preparedness and response plan’s objective
The emergency preparedness and response plan for collections shall have a clearly stated objective.
The objective is a brief summary of the purpose of the emergency preparedness and response plan
to reduce damage to the collections and their environment with procedures to address hazards that
present the highest risks.
The objective shall include planning for small and large emergencies and the appropriate actions under
a range of circumstances, with emergency procedures to address each situation.
NOTE 1 Emergency levels are defined in 4.3.
NOTE 2 Lack of preparedness can lead to inadequate or inappropriate response and the escalation of a small-
scale emergency to a larger incident, with greater impact on more of the collection and/or building, over a longer
period of time.
The objective shall specify the limitation on planning, sectors or areas out of the scope.
4.2 Understanding identified risks and their impact
4.2.1 General
The emergency committee shall identify conditions or events that could contribute to loss or damage
to collections to proactively address hazard mitigation, emergency response and emergency recovery.
Building regulations mainly relate to life safety and mechanical system operations. Therefore, a risk
assessment shall be conducted with regard to the protection of the building and collections.
Risk assessment can be used to support decisions about disaster prevention or protection of collections
in a new or existing building. It can be used to provide general guidance or to support choices in the
selection of scenarios. A risk assessment shall be carried out to identify the specific risks to collections
and the site.
Risk assessment can identify:
— compliance with safety code and regulations;
— compliance with preservation standards and requirements;
— corrective and compensatory measures against the identified hazards;
— balance between cost and risk reduction benefit;
— special events or temporary exhibitions that can compromise existing fire protection systems;
— acceptable risks especially for severe events;
— reliability of the emergency preparedness and response plan and/or the overall crisis management.
Effective risk assessment and management requires information about:
— collections and the building;
— hazards to these;
— collections and building vulnerabilities;
© ISO 2019 – All rights reserved 5

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 21110:2019(E)

— potential impacts on these;
— controls that can be put in place.
It is important that gaps in information or the need to gather more information (such as risk
assessments, surveys, etc.) are identified during the planning process.
The expertise of emergency services (such as representatives of local fire and police departments,
occupational health and safety officer, etc.) shall be requested for assessing the site risks and reviewing
the plan.
4.2.2 Identifying hazards
Accurately assessing hazards and identifying vulnerabilities is critical to understanding the risks to
collections.
NOTE 1 ISO 11799 contains information on risks and requirements for a new construction or for reviewing an
existing building and for their maintenance.
NOTE 2 ISO/TR 19815 contains information on risks and requirements for managing the environment of
collections in a repository.
NOTE 3 ISO/TR 19814 contains information on risks and requirements for managing library and archives
collections.
Table 1 ranks the likelihood of hazards.
Table 1 — Ranking the likelihood of hazards
Established The site is periodically affected by natural hazards (i.e. more than every 10 years).
The area includes buildings or other activities which can be targets for damage, vandalism or
unauthorized access.
Technical failures like leakages, power failures, etc. occur on a frequent basis or have been
registered in the recent past years. Collections have been affected by technical failures in the
recent past years.
Activities in the area are hazardous to the site.
Credible The site is prone to natural hazards which affect the site on a sporadic basis (i.e. less than
once every 10 years).
No damage, vandalism or unauthorized access against archives, libraries or museums has
been registered in the area but in immediate vicinity other buildings could be a target.
Technical failures like leakages or power failures have been registered in the past years but
with no harm to collections.
Activities in the area can be hazardous to the site.
Potential The region is prone to natural hazards, but the site has never been affected.
No damage, vandalism or unauthorized access against archives or libraries has been regis-
tered in the area.
The maintenance of the building and its equipment is made according to regulations and doc-
umented.
Activities in the area are not hazardous to the site.
Minimal The region is not prone to natural hazards and no critical event has been registered.
The maintenance of the building and its equipment is made according to regulations and doc-
umented.
Activities in the area are not hazardous to the site.

ISO 21110:2019(E)

4.2.3 Identifying building vulnerability
The building vulnerability assessment considers the potential impact of loss after an event, and
determines if critical systems will continue to function during an emergency.
It shall consider the age, function and style of the building to determine inherent risks, including fire risks.
The building vulnerability assessment shall consider the following factors:
— local area risks such as severe weather, tsunamis, mudslides, volcanoes, floods;
— site;
— building envelope;
— physical structure

4 Planification
4.1 Processus de préparation
4.1.1 Généralités
La phase de préparation consiste en un cycle continu de procédures de planification, d'organisation,
d'équipement, de formation, d'évaluation et d'amélioration visant à garantir une coordination efficace
et l'amélioration des capacités de réponse et de rétablissement en cas d'urgence.
La Figure 1 schématise ce processus.
Figure 1 — Processus de préparation
NOTE Voir l'Annexe C pour un schéma détaillé de la planification d'urgence.
4.1.2 Constitution d'un comité d'urgence
Un comité d'urgence doit être constitué.
Ce comité est responsable du plan de préparation et de réponse aux situations d'urgence. Il convient
que la direction participe directement à ses activités. Le comité doit avoir la responsabilité des activités
suivantes:
— l'élaboration du plan de préparation et de réponse aux situations d'urgence;
— la gestion de la réponse à des situations d'urgence touchant ou menaçant des collections et leur
environnement, et du rétablissement.
Il convient que le comité d'urgence inclue:
— le coordinateur du plan de préparation et de réponse aux situations d'urgence, ayant une expérience
en conservation-restauration et/ou en conservation préventive des collections, ou une connaissance
approfondie des collections et des bâtiments;
— l'équipe de direction, qui aura connaissance des différents plans d'urgence en vigueur au sein de
l'établissement (c'est-à-dire plan de continuité d'activité, plan de communication d'urgence, etc.);
— l'ensemble des services techniques;
— des experts ayant une connaissance:
— des contraintes de mise en œuvre logistique, telles que le financement, l'assurance et le soutien
gouvernemental;
— des différents plans d'urgence en vigueur au sein de l'établissement;
— de la conservation-restauration et la préservation;
— des collections et de leurs priorités;
— des magasins et de la gestion du stockage;
4 © ISO 2019 – Tous droits réservés

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
ISO 21110:2019(F)

— des systèmes de chauffage, ventilation et conditionnement d'air (CVC) et des systèmes du
bâtiment;
— des autres parties prenantes.
Si nécessaire, une expertise extérieure peut être sollicitée.
NOTE L'Annexe A dresse une liste des parties prenantes et de leurs rôles en cas d'incident.
4.1.3 Établissement d'un programme documenté
L'établissement doit disposer d'un programme documenté et planifié comprenant:
— la politique écrite approuvée par les dirigeants;
— des buts et objectifs définis;
— des plans et procédures établis pour la sécurité des collections;
— le budget, l'achat et la maintenance d'équipements et fournitures d'urgence normalisés;
— un processus de révision visant à l'amélioration continue;
— un plan et un programme de formation.
4.1.4 Exposé de la finalité du plan de préparation et de réponse aux situations d'urgence
Le plan de préparation et de réponse aux situations d'urgence pour les collections doit avoir un objectif
clairement défini.
L'objectif est un bref résumé du domaine d'application du plan de préparation et de réponse aux
situations d'urgence pour la réduction des dommages sur les collections et leur environnement ainsi
que des procédures permettant de faire face aux aléas les plus dommageables.
L'objectif doit inclure une planification pour des situations d'urgence mineures et majeures, et définir
les actions appropriées dans diverses circonstances, avec des procédures d'urgence pour faire face à
chaque situation.
NOTE 1 Les niveaux d'urgence sont définis en 4.3.
NOTE 2 Un manque de préparation peut donner lieu à une réponse inappropriée, et à une aggravation d'une
situation d'urgence de faible ampleur en un incident plus grave, avec un impact plus important sur une plus
grande partie de la collection et/ou du bâtiment, sur une plus longue période.
L'objectif doit préciser les limites concernant la planification, les secteurs ou les zones qui ne relèvent
pas de son périmètre.
4.2 Compréhension des risques identifiés et de leur impact
4.2.1 Généralités
Le comité d'urgence doit identifier des conditions ou des événements susceptibles de provoquer la
perte ou l'altération des collections, afin de prévoir les mesures de mitigation des aléas, de réponse aux
situations d'urgence et de rétablissement.
Les règles de construction s'appliquent principalement à la sécurité des personnes et aux installations
techniques. Une évaluation du risque doit donc être réalisée pour la protection du bâtiment et des
collections.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 21110:2019(F)

L'évaluation du risque peut permettre de justifier des décisions en matière de prévention des sinistres
ou de protection des collections dans un bâtiment neuf ou ancien. Elle peut servir à donner des
recommandations générales ou à justifier des choix lors de la sélection de scénarios. Une évaluation du
risque doit être effectuée pour identifier les risques spécifiques qu'encourent les collections et le site.
L'évaluation du risque peut permettre de déterminer:
— la conformité aux codes et réglementations de sécurité;
— la conformité aux normes et exigences de préservation;
— les mesures correctives et compensatoires contre les aléas identifiés;
— le rapport entre le coût et le bénéfice en termes de réduction du risque;
— les événements ponctuels ou les expositions temporaires qui peuvent compromettre les systèmes
de protection incendie existants;
— les pertes acceptables, en particulier lors d'événements graves;
— la fiabilité du plan de préparation et de réponse aux situations d'urgence et/ou des dispositifs de
gestion de crise.
Pour être efficaces, l'évaluation et le management du risque nécessitent des informations concernant:
— les collections et le bâtiment;
— les phénomènes dangereux auxquels ils sont exposés;
— les vulnérabilités des collections et du bâtiment;
— les impacts potentiels sur les collections ou le bâtiment;
— les mesures de contrôle qui peuvent être mises en place.
Il importe d'identifier au cours du processus de planification les lacunes dans l'information ou la
nécessité d'en recueillir davantage (comme des évaluations de risque, études, etc.).
Il est nécessaire de solliciter l'expertise des services de secours (tels que des représentants des services
locaux d'incendie et de police, un agent de santé et de sécurité au travail, etc.) lors de l'évaluation des
risques sur le site et de la révision du plan.
4.2.2 Identification des aléas
Il est essentiel d'évaluer précisément les phénomènes dangereux et d'identifier les vulnérabilités pour
comprendre les risques encourus par les collections.

Information and documentation — Emergency
preparedness and response
1 Scope
This document provides a context for emergency planning, response and recovery for all types of
an archive, library or museum collections in light of other existing plans. It provides responders and
other stakeholders with an outline for planning, responding and recovering. This document does not
address the causes of a critical event, but the consequences and wider impacts. This document outlines
a cycle for developing, exercising and reviewing a plan, and how to present a plan. It aims to encourage
responders to develop their capabilities in emergency preparedness and touches on some elements of
response and recovery, where relevant, by highlighting indicators of good practice.
It is not intended to be an operations manual as there is no single approach that meets the needs of
every site, nor is there one single set of organizational arrangements that is appropriate to each and
every type of emergency.
2 Normative references

Figure 1 — Process of preparing
NOTE See Annex C for a detailed diagram of emergency planning.
4.1.2 Establishing an emergency committee
An emergency committee shall be established.
This committee is responsible for the emergency preparedness and response plan. Senior management
should be directly involved in the committee. This committee shall be responsible for:
— preparing an emergency preparedness and response plan;
— managing an integrated response and recovery to an emergency affecting or threatening collections
and their environment.
The emergency committee should include:
— the emergency preparedness and response plan coordinator with a background in conservation
and/or collections care or substantial knowledge of collections and buildings;
— senior management with knowledge of the different emergency plans within the institution (i.e.
business continuity plan, emergency communication plan, etc.);
— full range of service groups;
— experts with knowledge of:
— logistical implementation issues such as financing, insurance, and governmental support;
— different emergency plans within the institution;
— conservation and preservation;
— collections and their priorities;
— stacks and storage management;
— heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) and other building systems.
— other stakeholders.
Expertise may be recruited from outside the institution as needed.
NOTE Annex A gives a list of stakeholders and their roles during an incident.
4.1.3 Establishing a documented program
The institution shall have a documented and scheduled program that includes:
— written policy approved by the leadership;
— established program goals and objectives;
— established program plans and procedures that safeguard the collections;
4 © ISO 2019 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
oSIST ISO 21110:2019
ISO 21110:2019(E)

— budget, purchase, and maintenance of standard emergency supplies and equipment;
— review process for continuous improvement;
— training plan and training programme.
4.1.4 Stating the emergency preparedness and response plan’s objective
The emergency preparedness and response plan for collections shall have a clearly stated objective.
The objective is a brief summary of the purpose of the emergency preparedness and response plan
to reduce damage to the collections and their environment with procedures to address hazards that
present the highest risks.
The objective shall include planning for small and large emergencies and the appropriate actions under
a range of circumstances, with emergency procedures to address each situation.
NOTE 1 Emergency levels are defined in 4.3.
NOTE 2 Lack of preparedness can lead to inadequate or inappropriate response and the escalation of a small-
scale emergency to a larger incident, with greater impact on more of the collection and/or building, over a longer
period of time.
The objective shall specify the limitation on planning, sectors or areas out of the scope.
4.2 Understanding identified risks and their impact
4.2.1 General
The emergency committee shall identify conditions or events that could contribute to loss or damage
to collections to proactively address hazard mitigation, emergency response and emergency recovery.
Building regulations mainly relate to life safety and mechanical system operations. Therefore, a risk
assessment shall be conducted with regard to the protection of the building and collections.
Risk assessment can be used to support decisions about disaster prevention or protection of collections
in a new or existing building. It can be used to provide general guidance or to support choices in the
selection of scenarios. A risk assessment shall be carried out to identify the specific risks to collections
and the site.
Risk assessment can identify:
— compliance with safety code and regulations;
— compliance with preservation standards and requirements;
— corrective and compensatory measures against the identified hazards;
— balance between cost and risk reduction benefit;
— special events or temporary exhibitions that can compromise existing fire protection systems;
— acceptable risks especially for severe events;
— reliability of the emergency preparedness and response plan and/or the overall crisis management.
Effective risk assessment and management requires information about:
— collections and the building;
— hazards to these;
— collections and building vulnerabilities;

It is important that gaps in information or the need to gather more information (such as risk
assessments, surveys, etc.) are identified during the planning process.
The expertise of emergency services (such as representatives of local fire and police departments,
occupational health and safety officer, etc.) shall be requested for assessing the site risks and reviewing
the plan.
4.2.2 Identifying hazards
Accurately assessing hazards and identifying vulnerabilities is critical to understanding the risks to
collections.
NOTE 1 ISO 11799 contains information on risks and requirements for a new construction or for reviewing an
existing building and for their maintenance.
NOTE 2 ISO/TR 19815 contains information on risks and requirements for managing the environment of
collections in a repository.
NOTE 3 ISO/TR 19814 contains information on risks and requirements for managing library and archives
collections.
Table 1 ranks the likelihood of hazards.
Table 1 — Ranking the likelihood of hazards
Established The site is periodically affected by natural hazards (i.e. more than every 10 years).
The area includes buildings or other activities which can be targets for damage, vandalism or
unauthorized access.
Technical failures like leakages, power failures, etc. occur on a frequent basis or have been
registered in the recent past years. Collections have been affected by technical failures in the
recent past years.
Activities in the area are hazardous to the site.
Credible The site is prone to natural hazards which affect the site on a sporadic basis (i.e. less than
once every 10 years).
No damage, vandalism or unauthorized access against archives, libraries or museums has
been registered in the area but in immediate vicinity other buildings could be a target.
Technical failures like leakages or power failures have been registered in the past years but
with no harm to collections.
Activities in the area can be hazardous to the site.
Potential The region is prone to natural hazards, but the site has never been affected.
No damage, vandalism or unauthorized access again
