JCPL partners with Jefferson County Emergency Management and County administration to reopen safely and provide special services in the event of a disaster. Library staff are trained in disaster relief and first aid. When disaster hits, the library supports Jeffersonians by providing:
Public education about preparing for disasters and being safe.
Reliable local information, such as the location of shelters, sandbag locations, and which stores and services are open.
Cooling stations and places to charge your devices.
Entertainment for children and families.
Distribution of ice, hot meals, and other relief supplies.
Family reunification.
IT and communications support for FEMA and insurance companies.
During a disaster, library hours, staff and services may change. We will make sure the library is safe to use and can be acessed by road before opening for emergency operations.
