Heritage Preservation Monitors Major Disasters
The 2011 Atlantic hurricane season begins on June 1, and with flooding and
tornadoes affecting much of the Southeast and Midwest, it is important to
remember that a disaster can happen at any time. On behalf of the Heritage
Emergency National Task Force, Heritage Preservation hosted an information
gathering conference call in April with cultural and emergency contacts in
the states affected by the recent rash of tornadoes and the Mississippi
River crest. Heritage Preservation has also distributed a press release to
local media outlets in the affected areas with simple object salvage tips
for the public.
If a major disaster has occurred in your region, visit the Heritage
Emergency National Task Force’s _Information on Major DisastersWeb page_
