Priorities for Moving Wet Material from Area:

• If area has previously established priorities, then follow them.

• If books have fallen from shelves and are lying in water, then retrieve these first. 

• Remove coated books before others

• Remove any boxes of materials from the floor

• Remove wettest books next. This will also aid in reducing humidity

• Soaked carpet should be removed promptly. If carpet lies under shelving ranges, then it must be cut.
