TBLC Workshop Announcement 

Public Libraries & Hurricane/Disaster Preparedness & Response


Public libraries play an essential role in helping their communities
prepare for and recover from hurricanes and in assisting evacuees as
they wait to return from a hurricane threat. This half-day workshop will
focus attention on 6-8 public library disaster responder service roles.
These are roles that public libraries may adopt to improve their
communities' hurricane response. Instruction will include how to use the
Institute's Public Library Hurricane Response website. 

Participants will leave the session with a deeper understanding of
public libraries' emergency responder role assisting their communities'
response to hurricanes. Attendees will have an improved understanding of
local and state government disaster planning processes. This will aid
managers to more effectively position their libraries in their
community's disaster response plans. Participants will leave the
workshop with specific, low cost, practical, ideas that public libraries
can implement to better assist their communities during hurricane
season. 

Presenter: Joe Ryan, Project Manager, Hurricane/Disaster Preparedness
and Response by Utilizing Florida Public Libraries project.
