New Jersey State Library

Emergency Management Collection

COLLECTION:
The Emergency Management collection at the New Jersey State Library is a collection of materials purchased with funds provided by the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management (NJOEM). The NJOEM receives a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to make these funds available each year. The purpose of this collection is to have materials available to New Jersey citizens, and to county and local emergency managers, government officials, emergency responders, teachers, engineers, and corporate emergency officials in New Jersey, that need to prepare for and manage different types of emergency situations. Materials in this collection can include manuals, handbooks, videos, reports, or software.
 
SERVICES:
The materials purchased for the Emergency Management collection are specifically selected for the use of all New Jersey citizens, therefore all items in this collection may circulate. New Jersey residents may borrow items by coming to the New Jersey State Library in person with appropriate identification indicating New Jersey residence, or they may request an item through their local public library and receive the item through an Interlibrary Loan. For more specific information about borrowing, please visit: Borrowing Materials Owned by the State Library.


COLLECTION POLICY:
New materials are added to the collection annually, and a printed catalog of items is available. For information on requesting a catalog, to make suggestions for the collection, or for any other questions, please contact Martha Sullivan.
