LAPNet List of Disaster Supplies

It’s back!  Our ever-popular disaster supply list has been reorganized into two handy lists.   The lists are designed for use with a library disaster preparedness and collection salvage plan.  List One is organized alphabetically by product or service so you can easily scan the list and find exactly what you need.  List Two is alphabetical by vendor name.   All services and vendor contact information have been confirmed as of October 2011.   IMPORTANT NOTE: Inclusion in the List is NOT an endorsement of a vendor by LAPNet. Many vendors of good repute not listed may also offer the same supplies and services.
