ERS: Emergency Response and Salvage application (ERS)

Heritage Preservation's Emergency Response and Salvage Wheel is
available free of charge on the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad as the
"ERS: Emergency Response and Salvage" app.

Long known as the authoritative resource for salvaging artifacts
after a disaster, the Wheel has been used by museums, libraries, and
archives around the world. This new app makes the Wheel's invaluable
guidance accessible to anyone who is in need of practical advice for
saving collections in the first 48 hours after disaster strikes.

Apple users can download this free app from the App Store. Simply
search for "ERS: Emergency Response and Salvage." To download, your
device must run iOS 5.1 or later. Complete technical requirements
are available on the ERS page at the App Store,

ERS provides the same reliable content found in the original Wheel.
The app outlines critical stages of disaster response and provides
practical salvage tips for nine types of collections, from
photographs to natural history specimens. ERS can help users protect
precious collections and significant records, access reliable
information instantly, and save damaged objects. The app was created
in partnership with the National Center for Preservation Technology
and Training.

The original slide-chart Wheel was created by Heritage Preservation,
a national non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the
cultural heritage of the United States. It has been translated into
six languages and distributed internationally in more than 40
countries. The original Emergency Response and Salvage Wheel,
sponsored by BELFOR, is still available for purchase. Visit the
