Dr. Chris Hagar, School of Information, San Jose State University is carrying out a research study entitled: Disaster Preparedness and Response: How Public Libraries Can Partner with Local Agencies to Meet Community Needs.

The purpose of this study is to provide insight regarding how the nation’s public libraries can be more involved in community-wide disaster planning, strengthening their role as core members of their communities’ disaster preparedness infrastructure.

Dr. Hagar would be most grateful if you could take 5-10 minutes to answer a few questions.
