Download the template for the Service Continuity Pocket Response Plan (PReP) and fill it out. For some libraries, the PReP may be enough. Others may want to start with the PReP and then develop a comprehensive plan as time permits.

2. Where to GET HELP following some kind of disaster or service disruption. Click on the Calling for Help page. Listed is contact information for your Regional Medical Library as well as library networks that provide consultation services (some at no cost), 24/7.

3. How to get TRAINING ON SERVICE CONTINUITY and libraries. Click on the Training Opportunities page and select the option that best fits your needs. Contact your NNLM RML at 1-800-338-7657, or the Coordinator, Dan Wilson, at danwilson@virginia.edu, to inquire about scheduling or participating in a class.

4. What else does the Toolkit offer? The Toolkit is a comprehensive collection of resources and tools for helping you prepare your library for a disaster or service disruption. In addition to the items listed above, you'll find news reports (NEPR Times), sample table-top exercises and model MOUs, library disaster stories, links to supporting resources for our training program, and information about the NN/LM Emergency Preparedness & Response Plan.
