The Fed is out with a report with some suggestions for banks in raising liquidity.

• Banks should ensure they are familiar with the pledging process for different collateral types and be aware that pre-pledging collateral can be useful if liquidity needs to arise quickly
• Banks should consider small value discount window transactions at regular intervals
• Events of H1 underscore importance of liquidity risk management and contingency planning

This is good advice that banks will certainly ignore.
