Episode 11: Emergency! Being Prepared in the New Normal.
October 1, 2021
Dave Lankes & Mike Eisenberg with Beth Patin
Unfortunately, the dire future predictions of crises due to environment and climate change, disease, poverty, and social justice are today’s realities. Across the globe, communities, individuals, and governments are trying to cope with current disasters while putting some plans and infrastructure in place for future catastrophic situations.
This new normal requires communities, individuals, and governments to cope right now while also looking ahead to plan for and create the necessary infrastructure and processes (conceptually and physically) to deal with future emergency situations.
Dave and Mike have discussed some of this previously, particularly the existing and potential roles of libraries, librarians, and other information services providers. But it’s time to bring in a true expert. Beth Hereford Patin is an Assistant Professor at the Syracuse University Information School (iSchool). Beth is a leading expert in crisis informatics. She was instrumental in rebuilding in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina and studies community resilience and libraries in the United States during disasters.
Listen in to a frank and sometimes scary conversation relevant to everyday people just trying to get by, government and public service officials responsible for dealing with crises, and of course, library & information staff and institutions who provide essential in services and resources.
