Caring for Flooded Buildings

Collections are not the only thing damaged by flood situations - if the incident is large enough, there will be damage to the building that houses the collection as well. This document by the National Trust for Historic Preservation provides great advice on drying, cleaning, and disinfecting historic buildings; much of this advice can be applied to newer buildings as well: https://www.history.nd.gov/hp/PDFinfo/Treatment-of-Flood-Damaged-Older-and-Historic-Buildings_NTHP.pdf
