Webinar: How Technology Can Improve Your Disaster Plan

Originally presented January 15, 2020

Every library needs to have a disaster management plan in place before disaster strikes. Making use of new technologies can greatly reduce the stress and effort required to create an effective plan. In this one-hour webinar, Carmen Cowick discusses the best websites, apps, and other technology to add to your current disaster plan. She'll show you how to enable your staff with tools and information that they can access on-the-go, and highlight tools that can make you better prepared for a disaster.

After participating in this webinar, you'll be able to:

  • Discover the advantages of adding technology to disaster planning 
  • Recall the features of each of the tech tools discussed
  • Identify the tech tools that would be appropriate for your institution
  • Apply and integrate new technology with a traditional disaster plan
