[Libs-Or] Call for Proposals: Community Preparedness Day Awards

[Gail Kouame]

The National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Pacific Northwest Region 
is pleased to announce a round of funding for Community Preparedness Day 
Awards.

Community Preparedness Day Awards assist libraries in in becoming active 
partners in the community’s emergency preparedness, response and 
recovery planning activities. Up to two (2) awards of up to $5000 each 
are available to NN/LM member organizations in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, 
Oregon, and Washington. The goals of Community Preparedness Day are to:

* Encourage, strengthen and/or expand library partnerships with first 
responders and community emergency management personnel

* Provide access to emergency management information tools and resources 
for families or other target populations

* Integrate and involve libraries in emergency preparedness, response, 
and recovery planning

* Promote and publicize the roles libraries, faith, or community 
organizations can play in emergency preparedness

* Strengthen and expand medical and public library partnerships

Applications from libraries and other organizations are welcome.
