The webinar will be facilitated by Dan Wilson, Coordinator, NN/LM Disaster Ready Initiative.

He combines his hands-on experience with the knowledge he has gained working with librarians and emergency planners across the nation.

Learning Objectives:

  • Awareness of value of emergency planners.
  • Value of risk assessment.
  • Analysis of operational impacts from an interruption or disruption.
