  2. Information Hub The community counts on the library before and after a storm to offer access to various communication equipment, to be a trusted provider of accurate, reliable information, to produce needed information aids where they do not exist, and to deliver this information using whatever technology the community uses and can afford. • Best practices may include: • Become an Emergency Communication Hub; • Prepare Resident Hurricane Preparation Information or Evacuee and Resident Hurricane Recovery Information Booklets; • Produce web booklets; • Offer resident hurricane preparation training or a video; • Provide an emergency blog or wiki Web 2.0 application updating local information; • Offer a /BackHome web page • Offer e-government services & business recovery services • Secure information infrastructure; • Information Hub Best Resources • Share with us • Return to Roles

  3. Emergency Communication Hub: Communication services the library may offer: amateur radio, charging of equipment, computers, copiers, fax, Internet access, WiFi, office supplies, phones, printers, and scanners along with electricity, furniture, light, air conditioning. Selected key questions include: • Can redundant and backup equipment be obtained? • Are there adequate supplies to out last the emergency? • Is the infrastructure in place to meet temporary heavy demand? • Do vendor/supplier pre-arrangements make sense? E.g., Install added phone lines? • Do service points need to be re-thought? E.g., A designated special area for disaster assistance? • Do staff need to be re-assigned? • Should policies and fees be adjusted? E.g., should copies temporarily be free, or free to responders? Consider each of the above questions for each of the communication services you offer
