Emergency Preparedness for Libraries provides library management with a comprehensive guide to planning and executing emergency procedures." "Based in part on a seminar Julie Todaro presented for the American Library Association, Emergency Preparedness for Libraries provides library personnel with detailed instructions for protecting staff, patrons, and facilities." "In addition, the author examines possible scenarios and provides step-by-step solutions for all types of libraries - academic, school, public, and special - and all types of disruptions, including floods, fires, civil disturbances, and theft."--Jacket.
