Just-In-Case Case

The kit has been created with the experience and support of conservators, curators, archivists, librarians and collection managers. The kit is an innovative solution designed to enable a quick and effective intervention against many disasters that could threaten and damage collections.

More than a simple kit designed to handle disasters such as flooding, the Just-In-Case Case is the ideal aid that will enable to equip the intervening personnel, limit water propagation, make an initial damage survey of the collection, isolate damaged objects and start to cleanse damaged premises. Each kit is sealed to prevent misuse of contents.

The Just-In-Case case is a two wheeled trolley which can be pulled up steps. The boxes can be removed for separate handling. On the top of the trolley the contents of each box are listed so that any items may be found quickly.
