Hi Nick, Happy New Year and all that! As our HER and subsequent scanned grey literature files etc are housed on Hampshire County Council's IT systems we fall under the departmental recovery/disaster plan, although I'm still chasing them up on policy regarding the longevity of electronic files compared to paper ones... All the best Alex Alex Godden BA (Hons) MA Archaeologist/ Historic Data Manager Strategic Environmental Delivery Group Economy, Transport and Environment Department Hampshire County Council Tel. 01962 832338 HPSN 8 200 2338 Email: [log in to unmask] hants.gov.uk/landscape-and-heritage <http://www3.hants.gov.uk/landscape-and-heritage.html> ________________________________ From: Issues related to Historic Environment Records [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Nick Boldrini Sent: 05 January 2012 15:49 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Disaster plans, Risk assessments, Risk Mitigation, Insurance and other fun fun fun stuff Hi Folks New Year, old topic... I have been battering my head against the DCC Disaster Plan for a while, and each time I time I think I am getting my head round it, someone helpfully talks to me and suggest a whole new load of stuff to chew over. The latest one is looking at Risk Assessment to HER collections (ie what are the likely risks and how likely are they to strike); and how you can mitigate the risks and/or insure against them. A related topic is that to insure something you have to value it - and how do you value HER collections, where some things might be unique? So has anyone looked at these aspects in particular of disaster planning, and be willing to share thoughts? Or just has some thoughts? I have trawled the archives to see if there is anything on this, and there isn't on this stuff particularly. There are some old discussions of Disaster planning generally though. If anyone is willing /able to send me any copies of their plans I would be interested to see them. best wishes Nick Boldrini Historic Environment Record Officer Archaeology Section Design and Historic Environment Team Planning Service Regeneration and Economic Development Durham County Council Rivergreen Centre Aykley Heads Durham DH1 5TS Tel: 0191 3708840 Fax: 0191 3708897 [log in to unmask] ________________________________ Help protect our environment by only printing this email if absolutely necessary.
