Phone Trees & Evacuation Plans
Salvage Priorities & Procedures
In the event of an emergency requiring evacuation of the building the first priority is always the safety of people. No library materials or property should be removed if it delays exit from the building such that safety is compromised.
Library employees will instruct patrons to leave the building. It is not necessary to wait for all patrons to evacuate. A strong warning or instruction is sufficient.
Close your office door but do not lock.
Library employees will proceed to their designated assembly area.
