E4GDH Webinar: Librarian First Responders

During a disaster, people need access to accurate information and clear, specific instructions to help them act appropriately. Libraries (especially public libraries), in addition to health, fire, and police departments, are community outreach centers and sources of credible information at difficult times. In times of crisis, they can aid in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.

During this session (11.30 am – 12.30 am ET), Feili Tu-Keefner will be discussing her research into the role public librarians have played during times of crisis, and sharing lessons learnt.
