PCI is national provider of quality webinars and online programming for library employees and library organizations. SWON purchases these webinars so that our members can participate in them at our discounted rates!

Libraries are most often in vulnerable positions from crisis of natural disaster to active shooters. But library staff are often not formally trained to handle basic emergency preparedness. Emergencies are not always clear-cut, especially in libraries. Unique challenges arise like damage to resources or patrons confiding with you about personal matters that could constitute getting emergency services involved. 
 
This webinar will help you to prepare your library to handle shut downs and other emergency services through formation of policies and training.
 
As a result of this program, attendees will:
 
Delineate between emergency and crisis at various levels and unique library emergencies
Identify best policies and practices for creation of an emergency manual
Implementing plans and responses including mandated reporting
Understand each stage of the process including preparedness and response and recovery
