During an alert, the university will notify by:
1. Tone and message on outdoor speakers

messaging
4. Banner message on university cable TV
FIND OUT ABOUT ANY EMERGENCY

a cell phone, you’ll
get WS City Police
who must then
contact WFU.
On campus, call
758-5911 using a
cell phone –or-
simply 911 from a
landline.

Go to kit that contains most needed
items in an emergency

TRAIN
⬜ Identify your “FIRE” team in advance.
⬜ Everyone should evacuate the building
immediately. The Fire team members are
responsible for certain areas/floors
⬜ Those responsible should quickly walk
through the assigned area then proceed
outside
EVERY FIRE ALARM IS A TRAINING
OPPORTUNITY
Know the location of fire
extinguishers and how to use
them
Fire extinguishers
Fire Extinguisher Training
The plan is never done.
Review and revise
Annually
After every event
“Our plan doesn’t sit on the shelf. In
fact there is no shelf!”
PLAN TO REVISE the PLAN
⬜ Ensure area is safe and remove excess water
⬜ Assess extent of damage to materials
⬜ Don’t panic- you have time!
⬜ Disaster Committee and library administration should meet,
survey the damage, and develop a recovery strategy
⬜ Damaged materials will be recorded, (collect barcodes by
scanning into a spreadsheet) and stabilized until a detailed
recovery can be developed
⬜ Box very wet materials and store in freezer
⬜ Slightly damp materials can be dried by fanning open the
pages of the book
Drying books
by “fanning pages”
Is there a volunteer to wrap and pack books?
