Dear Friends:
All of us at AASLH express our concerns for those across the Midwest who
are suffering due to the recent flooding.
As a member of the Heritage Emergency National Task Force, we would like
to make sure that our members are kept up to date on responses from the
field. Heritage Preservation, in support of the Task Force, has created
a new webpage on the Midwest flooding at
http://www.heritagepreservation.org/PROGRAMS/TFcurrent.html
<http://www.heritagepreservation.org/PROGRAMS/TFcurrent.html> .
This website is an excellent resource for information on disaster
resources and response. It is one click away from the Heritage
Preservation home page. The page includes links to information resources
for cultural heritage institutions and sites, as well as contact
information for relevant state agencies.
Although the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota,
Missouri, and Wisconsin have been affected the most by this tragedy, we
are sending out this email to all of our members who may have family,
friends, and colleagues in the areas hardest hit by flooding. AASLH will
keep abreast of the situation and provide more information to the field
as it becomes available.
We realize that many folks in the region are dealing with the dual
pressures of taking care of their families and homes in addition to
taking care of emergency and disaster preparedness at their respective
institutions. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
