Red Feather Mountain Library District
Disaster Preparedness Policy
Reviewed and approved by the Red Feather Mountain Library District Board of Trustees May 12, 2026.
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.
- to allow sufficient fore-planning to minimize the effects of adverse conditions.
- to provide access to resources to recover from the effects of unexpected events and disasters.
Disasters may be acts of nature or acts of people and may include (but not necessarily 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 are 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.
