Subj:  Flooding: Summary of 6.18.08 Call and New Resource


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 yesterday. We are 
particularly grateful to  representatives from the flooded areas who took time to 
share information on  damage and response efforts. A summary of the call is 
posted at _http://www.heritagepreservation.org/PROGRAMS/TFtranscript.html_ 
(http://www.heritagepreservation.org/xxx) .  

The next call  will take place on Wednesday, June 25, 2008 at 11:00 am EDT 
(10:00 am CDT). To  join the call, phone 800/820-4690 and enter 7034821. 
 
Please  note. Heritage  Preservation, in support of the Heritage Emergency 
National Task Force, has  created a new Web page on the Midwest  flooding at  
_http://www.heritagepreservation.org/PROGRAMS/TFcurrent.html_ 
(http://www.heritagepreservation.org/PROGRAMS/TFcurrent.html) .  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. 
 
A new feature  linked to this page is a form where you may post (1) reports 
on damage,  (2) information on response efforts, and (3) requests for 
assistance. The  information submitted can be viewed in a report sorted by type of 
posting and  state. Our staff has already entered information that we have 
received as of  noon today. If you will begin posting reports and requests directly 
on the  form rather than e-mailing them to us, information will be available 
more  quickly. We will monitor the postings, and we hope you will let us know of 
any  kinks in the system. Thank you!
 
Remember that we  have a limited number of Emergency Response and Salvage  
Wheels  for state agencies to donate to hard hit areas.  Contact us at 
_taskforce at heritagepreservation.org_ (mailto:taskforce at heritagepreservation.org) .
 
Again, our thanks  for your participation in the call.
 
Jane  Long
Vice President,  Emergency Programs
