Emergency Planning Home
Supervisors must share this information annually in September and, for new staff, within 30 days of their start date. Please reiterate the following:
No Library staff are designated as Essential, and in the event of a closure, all staff must stay home.
Those already on site must return home as soon as it is safe.
In cases that require branches to open with student staff (see Categories 2 and 3B), supervisors must not require any staff member to open or operate the branch if students are not available.
When the campus is closed, PULA staff, including those who work at 693 Alexander and ReCAP, are not expected to work from home even if previously scheduled to do so, and managers/supervisors may not ask PULA staff to work in these circumstances.
Additionally, ensure that all staff:
Know how to find and log in to Confluence and how to navigate to the Emergency Plans page.
Understand each category of emergency and the communication that can be expected.
Know who the emergency coordinator is for their department/location(s) and where to find the emergency plan specific to their location. In addition, they should be familiar with:
Sign up to receive TigerAlerts to get timely information, and understand that they may also check the PUL website for updated information.
After meeting with your staff, please follow up with an email to them providing the links included on this page. Please Note: you must meet via Zoom or in-person to discuss this information; emailing the information is not sufficient.
Please do not improvise an answer if you receive questions or concerns you do not know how to address. Direct questions to LPPOsupport@Princeton.edu and/or your immediate supervisor. It is important to ensure that staff receive consistent and accurate information.
The following staff and groups will review these procedures after each closure or weather event to further refine them.
Peggy Kehrer, Assistant Director, Library Physical Planning and Operations
Laurie Harris, Assistant Director, Library Talent and Organizational Effectiveness
Jon Stroop, Deputy Dean of Libraries
