the event is over.
• A phone and email chain (if all resources are working) should be established for informing staff of event issues as well as a phone tree to inform city administration of the situation. Rescue/responders in the area such as community police and firefighters should be notified of alternative uses of city facilities.
Coordinating constituents exiting the library post-flood conditions:
• Staff designated as incharge of the event should inventory those in the library and keep a running tally of who is in the library and who is leaving and when they leave. In addition, library managers should coordinate the use of “shelter in place” kits.
7. List what can’t be done, given any limitations or relevant facts. As needed, match what can’t be done with the relevant issues.
Elements of the Situation
• What can’t be done:
Flooding in the Library/Damaging Resources
• Staff cannot ignore the flooding nor choose to only handle themselves and not notify city support services.
• Staff cannot choose to ignore resources affected by water.
• Safety issues concerning underage teens spending the night in a city facility
• Staff should not allow anyone other than staff to take charge. Staff should not—if possible—allow any teens to leave the library unattended/with their parent or guardian.
• Safety issues concerning the public spending the night in a city facility
• Staff should not allow anyone other than staff to take charge of the situation.
• Staff should not allow adults to remove teens without permission of teen parents.
Communication Issues on Closure, Given Parents Needing to Know About their Children
• Staff should not communicate everything verbally and have no written instructions/guidelines. Staff—if possible—should speak with parents who call rather than only letting teens communicate what is happening. Staff should gather phone numbers and follow up with phone calls post event to see if everyone is “okay.”
Coordinating Constituents Exiting the Library Post Flood Conditions
• Staff should not let individuals leave without an inventory of who was there and when they left as well as gathering emails, home addresses, and phone numbers.
8. Choose the best one or two solutions, matching up any solutions with “can’t be done” as well.
Although how the situation is handled is relatively clear-cut and simple, the two most important things to be aware of and to handle include the flooding of the library even though it appears to be minor and they must take charge of the underage constituent situation.

9. Speculate on the outcome if the solutions are used/put into effect.
Elements of the Situation
• What can be done/possible outcomes
• Flooding in the library/damaging resources:
⚬ Library administration and management should have an emergency preparedness plan that includes water and facility issues. This plan should include preliminary actions for dealing with excessive water including resources to stop water (sandbags) as well as eliminating water until experts arrive.
⚬ Emergency preparedness plans also include a communication plan that covers requesting expert staff and then communicating with expert staff during the event. Additional flood support resources should include plans for relocating materials in or near the flooded area and protective clothing for staff that need to clean up/stop water prior to city support services arriving at the library.
⚬ Plans also include recovery of facilities as well as recovery of materials and resources damaged in the event.
⚬ Plans are accompanied by kits and/or sets of resources to assist in the event.
⚬ Workers participating in the recovery should be protected.
⚬ Water should be stopped before much damage is done to the facility.
⚬ Facility flooring, and so on should be recovered.
⚬ Damage to resources should be minimal and wet resources should be recovered and restored.
