May 26

• Public elevator was stuck with someone in it.
• Kristen was the primary responder.
• Patron was not stuck very long.
• Call out button in the elevator didn't work but the elevator was going off.
• Patron was able to text with a friend and friend informed them help was coming.
• Fire department needed to be called because DPS couldn't get them out.
• Should follow up with Facilities about notification of event between DPS and Facilities. Lucinda can do this.

Last year: Had one idea that didn't translate to reality but came up with another idea.

• Each day during safety week, an email goes out to cover a different safety topic.
• Try to make the emails fun and lighthearted, but also with useful information
• Last year asked for soundtrack suggestions for each day's theme.
• Put together compilation and gave out prizes for suggestions.
• Do we know what this year will look like with Covid-seem to have reached endemic, but we are not certain.
  • Several places are going back and forth on masking requirements
  • Probably shouldn't give up on hybrid options although most people are pushing for in-person events.
  • May need a hybrid option for those who require accommodations due to health concerns.
• Do we want to continue with the safety week emails? They have been done consistently for at least 10 years.
• In person events–would like to do fun items that are outdoors.
• Need to set dates soon. Traditionally done week 0 or the last week of intersession.
• Partners can do space specific safety trainings. Rachel can help facilitate those.

This year:

• Do we want to do it after Fall term starts like last year or move it back to earlier.
  • Teresa likes later because it involves students
  • Erin agrees it is nice to include students in the events (such as including them in the emails–student employees distro list).
  • Erin suggests not week 1 if we are going to do it after term starts.
  • Perhaps week 3 (week of October 10)
  • Library Inservice also hits in September so later gives staff some breathing room for planning.
• Discussed who might be involved in planning this year
  • Kenna, Karl, Derrick
• Discussed potential ideas for activities
  • Passport idea?
  • Disaster film festival? How do these show what not to do? Disaster Bingo?
  • Can refer to meeting minutes from last year both in planning and discussions post-safety week.
