Boston Marathon Bombing

Long Time Coming Hurricane Sandy (October 2012) City-Wide Blackout (December 2012) Shooter Hoax (February 2013) Winter Storm Nemo (February 2013) Boston Marathon Bombing (April 2013) Officer Collier's Shooting (April 2013)

Starting from Scratch

Methodology

Active Shooter Evacuation Shelter in Place Results

Run > Hide > Fight Run –Get out of harm’s way –Stay on the move Hide –If shooter location cannot be determined –Ideal locations can be locked or barricaded limited or no windows accessible by staff Fight –Absolute last resort –Use your environment Ex: fire extinguishers, books, desensitizing bricks, etc. Active Shooter

Situations where library must be emptied –ex: fire, bomb threat, gas leak, etc. Staff should not put themselves in harm’s way Leave everything behind, do not bring belongings Two external meeting points for each building Evacuation

Covers situations where it is deemed unsafe to be outside and occupants should seek shelter –inclement weather –natural disasters –air quality/airborne threats No specifics shelter locations –criteria for each –up to staff discretion Shelter in Place (SIP) terminology comes directly from SEMO – will NOT be used with active shooter Shelter in Place

Recommendations Bullhorns and walkie-talkies for service desks All desk staff practice locking/unlocking front doors Testing of emergency buttons at service desks Establish chain of command/communication plan Copy of emergency plans at each service desk Live training drills for each scenario

Considerations Obstacles Staff time and availability Library use and space access Approval process Communication outside of the Libraries Recommendations High-level participation Outsource to professionals Continuity throughout the project Communication
