Description 
Natural and manmade disasters 
occur without warning. During these times of crisis, numerous decisions must be 
made in order to assess and control damage to your building, your collections 
and possibly your staff and patrons. Through case studies, real life situations 
and simulated disasters, this day and a half preconference will provide a 
framework for creating or updating your own disaster plan. Components include 
developing a written plan, collection and building damage assessment, continuing 
services, public relations, staff relations and counseling, organizing community 
resources and more. By following the Girl Scout motto - "Be prepared" - you too 
can keep your library operational, even in the midst of a crisis.
