Emergency Procedures/Unusual Situations

Policy Statement
Emergencies are unforeseen circumstances that call for immediate action. When an emergency occurs anywhere in the Library System, the number one concern is to protect and preserve human life. The secondary concern is to protect and preserve the collections and equipment used to provide library services. When emergency circumstances require that service to the public be interrupted, restoration of public service should occur as soon as the building can be safely occupied. In all cases, clear and timely communication must occur.
IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION OR WHEN EMERGENCY ALARM SOUNDS, AND NOT A TEST, GET PEOPLE OUT OF IMMEDIATE DANGER AREA, CALL 911, AND BEGIN EVACUATING THE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY.
