	PRIZE DESCRIPTIONS
	React Pak™ Created by a disaster professional, the React Pak™ contains the basic supplies and equipment needed to cope with water damage. Contents include aprons, gloves, boots, mops, plastic sheeting, and a Rescube® Disaster Recovery Carton.
	Collections Protection Kit Sealed in a six-gallon bucket, this kit is stocked with enough supplies for a two-person team to protect collections in a flood-related emergency. Among the essential items: sponges, triage tags, waterproof tarp, plastic sheeting, tape, light sticks, and a waterproof document pouch.
	Six Rescube® Disaster Recovery Cartons These easy to use, lightweight boxes are great to have on hand in an emergency situation. Made of durable corrugated polyethylene, Rescube® cartons are useful to transport and store water-soaked books or papers.
	Two Leak Alert Water Detectors Catch leaks before they spread! The Leak Alert Water Detector will sound a 95dB alarm for 72 hours as soon as it comes in contact with water. The detectors are fully automatic; just place on the floor near vulnerable collections.
