Welcome to the first episode of Survival By The Book, the podcast series where local librarians learn about how to prepare for emergency situations because being prepared shouldn't be complicated.
Have you ever been without power, caught in a flood, facing incliment weather first time or any other emergency situation but hadn't prepared for it or didn't know where to start?
Well lucky for you that's what this first episode is all about. Join us as we talk about what makes a situation an emergency, some practical skills to have, and ways to reduce/minimize feelings of panic until rescue or resolution. You also get a little background info about your local librarians and their experiences and expertise with emergency situations.
