The Safety and Security Team is looking for your feedback on current emergency and security content and format, and for suggestions for future content. The deadline for feedback is August 16. To help with this review, please take a moment to review the below background and categories of information.   

Background

As background, the Libraries considers the safety of staff, patrons, and collections a shared priority. The Safety & Security Team was created to act as a collaborative conduit for information exchange and proactive improvement of safety and security measures. Each team member (area rep) was asked to inform their department and disseminate new instructions on emergency procedures, safety protocols, and communication channels. See the member areas list for area representative.
