Recently on PUBLIB, several comments have been made about emergency phone
service. Since many people now have cell phones, this isn't a big issue. But
in case no one does on your staff, here's another idea. (Just in time for
all these rainstorms!).

>>>Do any of you have a policy that you close the library when you do
not have telephone service?
You didn't make it clear whether the phone service was out due to a
power outage.
Power outages knock down our fancy multi-line phone systems. Phone
service is still available though. We all should have a single line
plain old telephone tucked away for these occasions. Plug it into a
phone jack that is a direct line bypass of your phone system, such as a
fax line and it will work fine with no power. This or something like it
should be part of your emergency plan.
