Building Community Resiliency: How your Library can Help Prepare your Community Before a Disaster or Crisis Hits


Thu, Feb 18, 2021 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM CST

This webinar focuses on the ability for a community to recover quickly after a disaster or crisis. This can only happen if a community is already made resilient by preparing resources ahead of time, and knowing what to do when an emergency strikes. While there are many parts and players involved in building a culture of resiliency, the library can play a significant role in helping its community build capacity by offering programming, and connecting with partners from other local organizations.
