[SCLA] Public Libraries and Community Emergency Preparedness -- Tuesday, August 29th

[Valerie Lewis]

Dear Library Colleagues, 

 

Please join us IN-PERSON at SCLS, on Tuesday, August 29th from 10:00am to
Noon, for the next meeting of Public Libraries and Community Emergency
Preparedness. 

 

The goal of these meetings is to share/gather information that wil enable
public libraries to help their communities prepare for (and recover from) a
natural or man-made disaster. 

 

Our emergency preparedness colleagues from the Suffolk County Office of
Emergency Management/Fire Rescue and Emergency Services, and the FEMA Region
2 Community Engagement Specialist, will be in attendance. They will be
sharing information about their programs and services, and provide
suggestions on how to work with your community on emergency preparedness
related challenges. 

 

Please share this information with your library colleagues. 

 

Please register on the SCLS Gateway. 

 

We look forward to your participation. All library administration and staff
are welcome and encouraged to be part of the ""ongoing"" community emergency
preparedness conversation.

Please note: As the Outreach Administrator for the Suffolk Cooperative
Library System, I feel it is important to share information with library
staff that will be of value to public libraries and the patrons in their
community. The forwarding/sharing of the information that has not originated
from me, does not imply endorsement or support of a particular
company/organization/service.
