Likelihood
Fire is a low-likelihood event. The impact of a fire will vary according to the personnel and
systems affected. Prolonged service outages are possible. Even if there is no evident damage
to the Digital Collections systems, a fire could force the UNT Libraries to shut down service in
order to permit assessment and repair of the facility. A fire elsewhere in the building or on the
campus could affect network cables that deliver the repository's information to the internet,
effectively causing a service outage for a period of time. A fire in the surrounding region could
affect electrical power for short or long periods of time. A fire that prevents staff from carrying
out their duties (e.g., if staff cannot access the office) will likely be a temporary, low-impact
event.
Management strategy
The Digital Libraries Division complies with emergency preparedness and response procedures
designed by the UNT Libraries and the University of North Texas Facilities Fire Safety
department.
In the event of evacuation, staff will follow procedures outlined in the UNT Libraries Emergency
Manual
The Digital Libraries Division and Lib-TACO carry out regular backup of data, databases, and
applications according to standard backup practices. These backups are intended to serve as
the basis for restoration of server infrastructure materials in the event of data corruption or loss.
Data stored as part of the UNT Libraries' Coda repository is migrated between two storage
facilities, one in the Willis Library, and one in the UNT System Data Center at the UNT
Discovery Park research campus.
Fire suppression in the UNT Libraries server room is based on heat and smoke detectors and
automatic Halon fire suppression system.
The UNT Libraries have fire detection and suppression systems throughout the Willis Library.30
