Subj:  Flooding: Summary of 6.25.08 Call and Salvage Video


TO:  Members of the  Heritage Emergency National Task Force 
                 and Directors of State Cultural Heritage  Agencies
 
Thanks to all who  participated in the conference call Wednesday, June 25, 
especially  representatives from the Gulf Coast who signed on to share their 
expertise. We  appreciate the time everyone took to provide current information 
on damage to  cultural heritage and new response efforts. A summary of the 
call, which  includes links to resources, is posted at  
http://www.heritagepreservation.org/PROGRAMS/TFcurrent.html. Please inform us  of any errors of fact or 
omission.
 
The next  conference call will take place on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, at 
11:00 a.m. EDT  (10:00 a.m. CDT).
 
We are pleased to  announce that the chapter on coping with water-damaged 
collections from the  Field Guide to Emergency Response DVD is available online 
at _http://www.heritagepreservation.org/PROGRAMS/WaterSegmentFG.HTM_ 
(http://www.heritagepreservation.org/PROGRAMS/WaterSegmentFG.HTM) .  The 10-minute 
segment combines hands-on demonstrations with concise advice  from preservation 
experts. Practical tips on safety, equipment, and salvage  priorities also make 
the video a useful guide for rescuing family treasures.  Heritage Preservation 
has partnered with the Institute of Museum and Library Services   
(http://www.imls.gov/) to make this  useful resource available as streaming video. The 
Field Guide was published in  2006 with support from the National Endowment for 
the Humanities.  

We hope you will  spread the word to your constituents and link to the video 
from your Web  sites.
 
Jane  Long
Vice President,  Emergency Programs
