FLOODS 2002
Commemoration of the Natural Disaster and Rescue Works at the Klementinum
16 July – 31 August 2012

In summer 2002 tremendous floods, considered as the worst in the last five hudred years, struck the Czech Republic. The level of the Vltava River rose about seven metres above its normal level. Apart from economic and cultural damage and human tragedies, over forty libraries were inundated, hundreds of thousands of volumes were soaked.
Thanks to the dedication and initiative of librarians, with help of a lot of volunteers, individuals, organizations and companies, a large part of the funds was saved.
A governmental programme to recover flood damages was established and its financial means together with materiál and financial gifts enabled to cover expenses to freeze the soaked documents and then to dry, restore and reformat them. Staff of the National Library of the CR played an important role in organizing cooperation among the library institutions and significantly contributed to reach positive results.
