The Willis Library is located in a Zone X area -- i.e., an "Area determined to be outside of the
0.2% annual chance of floodplain" -- according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map Number 48121 C0360G revised April 18, 2011.
Management strategy
The Digital Libraries Division complies with emergency preparedness and response procedures
designed by the UNT Libraries and the University of North Texas. In the event of evacuation,
staff will follow procedures outlined in UNT Libraries' Emergency Manual.
For local water problems, the Digital Libraries Division depends on facilities management
provided by the UNT Libraries and UNT Facilities.
The Digital Libraries Division operations are split between the lower level and the third floor of
the Willis Library. If flooding occurred in the lower level, temporary offices could be arranged
either on the third floor or somewhere else in the building.
While the UNT Libraries Server Room is located in the lower level, several strategies to
minimize risk of damage due to flooding are in place:
" All servers are mounted on racks and have uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems
" Water detection systems alter network administrators if water is present on the floor in
the server room
" Power in the server room is positioned overhead and never run along the floor
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.
Severe weather (thunderstorm, blizzards, tornado)
Dependencies
The Digital Libraries Division depends on safe and typical weather conditions in order to carry
out day-to-day operations, safeguard archival storage, and disseminate information via the UNT
Libraries' Digital Collections to its designated community.
