[BCMA] flood advice

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hello Raine,

The best thing to do with books is to freeze dry them as soon as possible. If this cannot be done, stand them up and fan the books open in the sun, this will allow them to dry fast. If they take too long to dry you are at risk of mould growing. Sun/UV light will help prevent mould growth. If you can't do this outside set them up on a table with fans nearby to increase air circulation. If the paper is coated paper you have to separate each page otherwise they will stick together when they dry.
I have attached a few documents for you to look at.

Good luck!
Nikki
