This project evaluated Marshall County Public Library’s response to the December 2021 tornado in Western Kentucky. The primary deliverable was a revised tornado response plan for use at the library. Secondary deliverables included a crisis response taxonomy suggestion for the Marshall County Public library website, and a general framework for consideration in climate disaster planning. The Cycle of Disaster Planning and trauma-informed solutions presented here are a synthesis of information gathered about Marshall County Public Library, as well as current disaster management literature.
