When the pipe breaks, the fire starts, or the earth moves under your 
library, what will you do? In the first moments of an emergency, personal 
safety is your priority. But after you've determined that people and 
structures are secure, you may be faced with the overwhelming job of 
putting your library back in order. The success you have will be the result 
of how well you have prepared. What should you do first? Who needs to be 
involved? How can you avoid damaging materials while you rescue them? And 
how can you help staff cope with the trauma?

This webcast will explain the ten most important steps you should take to 
prevent a library emergency from turning into a disaster. Participants will 
learn how to protect people, prevent damage to materials, and provide the 
best possible outcome. Don't be left unprepared!
