Chicago Area Disaster Response Resource File CHICAGO AREA DISASTER RESPONSE RESOURCE FILE Compiled at the Newberry Library 2009 (Updated 2016) CONTENTS INTRODUCTION. 3 MUSEUM/ LIBRARY CONTACTS. 4 HUMAN RESOURCES. 5 SERVICES . 13 EQUIPMENT . 22 SUPPLIES . 32 INDEX . 43 ONLINE CONSERVATION & COLLECTIONS CARE RESOURCE . .44 SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY. 46 2 INTRODUCTION The history of the Chicago Area Disaster Response Resource File is outlined in the original introduction written over 20 years ago and reprinted in full below. The usefulness of this resource seems more relevant than eve, however, as we enter a millennium when global warming and its effects – extreme weather - have become common. The original document, intended to assist in the planning and implementation of disaster response and recovery, remains a practical tool in the preparation of Chicago area disaster response manuals for institutions large and small. It has been updated to include new members of DRAT and also includes websites and email addresses of individuals and companies as appropriate. The document includes listings for Human Resources, Suppliers, Services, and Equipment, and is available through the Newberry Library as a pdf with active links to listings. For more information or to obtain a copy, please contact me at [email protected] Barbara Korbel Collections Conservator(Retired) The Newberry Library February 2009 The idea for this resource file evolved from two independent projects begun by two different groups of professionals. Both projects, however, were inspired by the same event. In the late afternoon of July 11, 196, an exposed water main behind the Chicago Historical Society broke and began shooting water into the air. Before it could be shut off the water had filled a large foundation pit which had been excavated as part of the CHS building project. The water made its way underneath the foundation of the existing building and burst through the basement floor, flooding the basement to a level of 5 feet in some places. The response of the CHS staff who witnessed the event was immediate. By 10:00a.m. the following morning a crew of staff and friends had already formed a “bucket brigade” to evacuate the bound news-papers that had gotten wet. Carol Turchan, CHS Conservator and Larry Viskachil, the Curator of Prints and Photographs had assembled about a dozen conservation specialists to assist them in salvaging the paintings, architectural drawings frames, sculpture, and other materials that had been affected. As one group of conservators and recovery assistance concentrated on carefully peeling apart soggy architectural drawing, someone suggested that the Chicago Area Conservations Group (CACG), an organization of conservation professionals compile a list of its members who could be contacted in an emergency situation to assist in the recovery of cultural artifacts. The list would include home phone number and a member’s specialty so that a museum or library could efficiently identify the appropriate people and contact them immediately. This conversation, which took place in the dimly lit, silty basement of CHS the day following the flood, was the beginning of DRAT-the Disaster Recovery Action Team. Many of the people listed in the Human Resources section of this file are also DRAT participants 3 Another group of professional was inspired to act as a result of the CHS flood. The Chicago Museum Security Group placed on its agenda the possibility of exchanging resources such as personnel, storage space, and equipment should one of their members require emergency assistance. This group of security directors from Chicago area museums began to identify what each museum might need to respond to an emergency and what each could offer other museums struck by disaster. As Richard West, then the Chief Security Officer of the Newberry Library and, I exchanged information about these activities and discussed disaster planning and recovery from both our perspectives, we realized that many of the resources that any museum or library would require to respond quickly and efficiently to an emergency are the same. Furthermore, not all museums and libraries have access to the security and/or conservation expertise to assistance in their disaster preparedness planning or their response. We concluded that if a list of resources could be compiled with the assistance of security and conservation professional, it could them be made available to any library and museum in the Chicago area. This would eliminated museum of the duplicated effort occurring as each institution prepares the resources section of their comprehensive disaster preparedness plan and it would benefit institutions who are unable to dedicate the staff time to compile an extensive list of resources. A proposal to create a computer resource file, which could be shared with other cultural institutions, was submitted to the Chicago Community Trust for funding consideration. The Chicago Community Trust awarded the Newberry Library a Technical Assistance grant to support the first phase of the project. The resources in this file were identified with the assistance of individuals from a core group of Chicago area institutions. The information was entered into a database at the Newberry Library so that is could be indexed and easily updated. The result is the Chicago Area Disaster Response Resource Files. We intend to continue this project by regularly updating the information contained in the resource file, and making it available to any individual or institution at cost. I wish to thank all of the people in the core group who contributed information for the Resource File. Special thanks to Richard West for his ideas and help in preparing the grant proposal and securing the cooperation of the Chicago Museum Security Group. Thanks also to the DRAT members who agreed to be a part of this publication. Above all, the Chicago Community Trust deserves recognition for making this project possible.

  • Streeterville Neighborhood Plan 2014 Update II August 18, 2014
    Streeterville Neighborhood Plan 2014 update II August 18, 2014 Dear Friends, The Streeterville Neighborhood Plan (“SNP”) was originally written in 2005 as a community plan written by a Chicago community group, SOAR, the Streeterville Organization of Active Resi- dents. SOAR was incorporated on May 28, 1975. Throughout our history, the organization has been a strong voice for conserving the historic character of the area and for development that enables divergent interests to live in harmony. SOAR’s mission is “To work on behalf of the residents of Streeterville by preserving, promoting and enhancing the quality of life and community.” SOAR’s vision is to see Streeterville as a unique, vibrant, beautiful neighborhood. In the past decade, since the initial SNP, there has been significant development throughout the neighborhood. Streeterville’s population has grown by 50% along with new hotels, restaurants, entertainment and institutional buildings creating a mix of uses no other neighborhood enjoys. The balance of all these uses is key to keeping the quality of life the highest possible. Each com- ponent is important and none should dominate the others. The impetus to revising the SNP is the City of Chicago’s many new initiatives, ideas and plans that SOAR wanted to incorporate into our planning document. From “The Pedestrian Plan for the City”, to “Chicago Forward”, to “Make Way for People” to “The Redevelopment of Lake Shore Drive” along with others, the City has changed its thinking of the downtown urban envi- ronment. If we support and include many of these plans into our SNP we feel that there is great- er potential for accomplishing them together.

  • Meeting Display Boards for Public Meetings on the Ashland Avenue Ashland Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Project, Held December 10 and 11, 2013
    Meeting Display Boards for Public Meetings on the Ashland Avenue Ashland Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Project, held December 10 and 11, 2013. Logos: CTA in partnership with Chicago Department of Transportation and Chicago Department of Housing and Economic Development Welcome: Welcome to the public open house for the Ashland Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Environmental Assessment and project. • In April 2013, CTA and CDOT announced a vision for a center running Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system on Ashland Avenue between Irving Park Road and 95th Street to provide a fast and reliable north/ south transit connection for 16 miles through Chicago. The vision reflects the planning process and community engagement undertaken in 2012. • Over the summer, CTA and CDOT heard from various key stakeholders about this plan. We are now holding two public open house meetings as an extension of this outreach to gather additional input from the public. CTA and CDOT are still developing the Ashland BRT design, and we are considering options and modifications, including the implementation of additional left turns, based on continued feedback from the public. • The public open house meetings will summarize studies of the project impacts, including traffic analyses, that have been performed as part of the formal Environmental Assessment for the project, in accordance with federal government requirements. The Environmental Assessment is now complete and available on CTA’s website and in hard copy at several community locations. CTA and CDOT would like your comments on the Environmental Assessment, which can be made at the public open houses or by e-mail at [email protected].

  • The Newberry Annual Report 2019–20
    The Newberry A nnua l Repor t 2019–20 30 Fall/Winter 2020 Letter from the Chair and the President Dear Friends and Supporters of the Newberry, The Newberry’s 133rd year began with sweeping changes in library leadership when Daniel Greene was appointed President and Librarian in August 2019. The year concluded in the midst of a global pandemic which mandated the closure of our building. As the Newberry staff adjusted to the abrupt change of working from home in mid-March, we quickly found innovative ways to continue engaging with our many audiences while making Chair of the Board of Trustees President and Librarian plans to safely reopen the building. The Newberry David C. Hilliard Daniel Greene responded both to the pandemic and to the civil unrest in Chicago and nationwide with creativity, energy, and dedication to advancing the library’s mission in a changed world. Our work at the Newberry relies on gathering people together to think deeply about the humanities. Our community—including readers, scholars, students, exhibition visitors, program attendees, volunteers, and donors—brings the library’s collection to life through research and collaboration. After in-person gatherings became impossible, we joined together in new ways, connecting with our community online. Our popular Adult Education Seminars, for example, offered a full array of classes over Zoom this summer, and our public programs also went online. In both cases, attendance skyrocketed, and we were able to significantly expand our geographic reach. With the Reading Rooms closed, library staff responded to more than 450 research questions over email while working from home.

  • Epared This Community Involvement Plan (CIP) for the Four Peoples Gas Cleanup Sites Located on the Near North Side, One of 77 Well-Defined Community Areas of Chicago
    U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 Community Involvement Plan Peoples Gas Plant Sites: Division Street Station Hawthorne Avenue Station North Station Willow Street Station City of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois August 2009 Introduction U.S. Environmental Protection Agency prepared this community involvement plan (CIP) for the four Peoples Gas cleanup sites located on the Near North Side, one of 77 well-defined community areas of Chicago. The sites are found near Goose Island, which is located in the North Branch of the Chicago River. This CIP provides background information on the sites, describes activities EPA will perform to keep the public and local officials informed about progress at the sites, and encourages community involvement during cleanup of the sites. This CIP also lists the concerns of nearby residents and local officials regarding the sites and ways for EPA to address those concerns. The information in this CIP is based primarily on discussions with residents and local officials that occurred April 1-2, 2009. Site background EPA has entered into an agreement with Peoples Gas Company to oversee the company’s investigation of 11 former manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites in Chicago. Peoples Gas will investigate the extent and nature of contamination at each site, and then evaluate potential cleanup options. In consultation with Illinois EPA, the City of Chicago and area residents, EPA will make the final cleanup determinations. All of the properties covered by the agreement are relatively close to the Chicago River, which was a transportation route when the MGPs operated. These facilities produced gas from coal from the mid-19th through the mid-20th centuries.
