Subjects: LIBRARIANSHIP Contents The Emergency Response and Recovery Guide is a comprehensive manual developed by the Daniel F. Cracchiolo Law Library at the University of Arizona. It serves as both a preparedness and response framework tailored to law library environments but is adaptable for other academic and research institutions. The guide lays out clear procedures for handling a broad spectrum of emergencies including fires, natural disasters, medical incidents, data breaches, and active shooter events. It emphasizes personal safety as the highest priority, while empowering all employees—regardless of rank—to take decisive action during crises. The manual also includes leadership responsibilities, recovery strategies, training expectations, and detailed evacuation routes and diagrams. The guide is structured to support both proactive readiness and real-time decision-making. It covers general emergency protocols, equipment locations (e.g., fire alarms, AEDs, flashlights), contact lists, and incident-specific response instructions. A major focus is placed on coordination with university departments, emergency personnel, and risk management teams. Post-incident recovery procedures are also addressed, including salvage priorities, documentation standards, and mental health resources. An online version complements the print guide, offering regularly updated protocols and mobile access for enhanced usability in time-sensitive situations. Key Highlights:
