dPlan: “dPlan is perfect for small and medium-sized institutions that do not have in-house preservation staff. dPlan is also valuable for large library systems or museum campuses that need to develop separate but related plans for multiple buildings, locations, or branches.” (Northeast Document Conservation Center)

PReP: as an accompaniment to a disaster plan, “The Pocket Response Plan (PReP)™ is a concise document for recording essential information needed by staff in case of a disaster. Every person having a response-related assignment should carry a PReP with them at all times. The PReP is one component of CoSA’s Framework for Emergency Preparedness.” (Council of State Archivists)
