If you think your collections are safe because they are not housed in a seismic active area, THINK AGAIN!Or perhaps look at what has happened in Washington DC during the 23rd Aug earthquake. Fortunately, damage to collections seems to have been very low, but I feel for all the colleagues working in those areas.
