Guidelines for Triggering EAI • Federal or state disaster declaration exists, and • Five (5) or more health sciences libraries are affected by loss of power and communications systems or other disruption that force closure, and • Loss of access to biomedical literature is expected to last for at least 2 weeks.
Disaster definition • For the purposes of the Emergency Access Initiative project, a “disaster” is a naturally-occurring or man-made event that interrupts or severs access to biomedical literature for health care professionals, students, and other users of health science libraries in the United States or internationally. • Typically, a “disaster” causes disruptions or failures in essential infrastructure systems: transportation, communications and public utilities (water, gas, electric). When such a disaster overwhelms the local emergency management resources, a state and federal major disaster declaration will usually follow.
