Disaster Planning. Realities of Response and Recovery (Network of the National Library of Medicine) Online
This 90-minute panel discussion brings together librarians from a variety of settings—public and academic to share candid stories from the front lines of disaster response and recovery. Panelists will discuss what happened in the immediate aftermath, how decisions were made under pressure, and the ways staff, leadership, and community partners worked together to restore services. Instead of focusing solely on best practices, this conversation will highlight the real-world challenges, tough decisions, and surprising moments of innovation that emerged in the wake of natural disasters, weather events, and other crises. Attendees will gain practical insights and takeaways they can adapt to their own settings to help prepare for the unexpected, respond effectively, and recover with resilience.
