Red Feather Mountain Library District
Disaster Preparedness Policy

Reviewed and revised by the Red Feather Mountain Library District
Board of Trustees May 24, 2022

The intent of the RFMLD Disaster Preparedness Policy is

• The preservation and well-being of human life.
• The ability, through adverse conditions, to continue the mission and
operations of Red Feather Mountain Library District.
• Allow sufficient fore-planning to minimize the effects of adverse
conditions.
• Provide access to resources to recover from the effects of
unexpected events and disasters.

Disasters may be acts of nature or acts of man and may include (but not
necessarily be limited to) flood, fire, storm, wind, the failure of library
operational systems, failure of access to the library, acts of violence,
vandalism, or social and political issues.
As the causes and results of disasters are varied so may be the response.
Both planning and response is procedural as reflected in the resource list
below. This list may be modified as needed without diminishing either the
intent or effect of this policy.
