When Bad Things Happen to Nice Libraries: Building an Emergency and  
Disaster Preparedness Program

Saturday, June 24, 2006, 10:30 am – 12:00 pm

Libraries have policies addressing many aspects of security, but  
formulating a response to a major disaster defies easy solution.    
Every library must plan for fire, flood, earthquake or other  
destructive event, both to protect staff and preserve the  
collections.   In addition, the library's fiduciary responsibility  
requires some policy to be in place.  Three speakers will address the  
issues involved in drafting a policy and some actual catastrophic  
experiences.  Participants will come away with the perspective and  
skills to construct a practical response to an extreme situation.
