The following booklet (in .pdf files) provides an overview of some types of emergencies that we might face at the University Library. It is not a comprehensive handbook; however, it is designed to assist you as an employee in understanding what to expect and how to respond initially. In any situation, the most important things to remember are that there is no substitute for remaining calm and using good common sense.
