Dear HENTF members,



I hope you and your loved ones are managing to stay safe from the storms and flooding as well as severe weather continuing to threaten states across the nation. HENTF is supporting response and recovery efforts of the arts & culture sector - and the public impacted by Tropical Storm Ophelia. Please reach out to your members and constituents in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and New Jersey to help gather reports of damage, identify any unmet needs, and share the following resources:



*         Cultural institutions and arts organizations affected by the flooding can call the National Heritage Responders hotline: 202.661.8068. The National Heritage Responders, a team of trained conservators and collections care professionals administered by the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation, are available 24/7 to provide advice and guidance.

     *   If you, a constituent, or a stakeholder suffered facilities and/or collections damage as a result of this event, consider filling out one of three rapid damage assessment forms for:

        *   Cultural institutions<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdX2xFpCGc5gTq7UKQSO7xNQqpdL2kQMrFYNwx1RDxT-qsO8g/viewform>,
        *   Arts organizations<https://forms.gle/fNAcHzBoUNWiWXY36>, or
        *   Individual artists and performing groups<https://forms.gle/QL5gAYNUeG6fYRWn7>.

The information gathered will help HENTF identify where assistance is sought, direct assistance where needed, understand critical needs, and inform how recovery efforts move forward. HENTF wishes to thank the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation (FAIC) for hosting the survey for cultural institutions and the National Coalition for Arts' Preparedness (NCAPER) for hosting the surveys for arts organizations and individual arts & performing groups.


*         Members of the public who have questions about saving family heirlooms can email the National Heritage Responders at NHRpublichelpline at culturalheritage.org<mailto:NHRpublichelpline at culturalheritage.org>

*         HENTF's Save Your Family Treasures guidance is available at Save Your Family Treasures | FEMA.gov<https://www.fema.gov/disaster/recover/save-family-treasures>. Here you can find the downloadable FEMA fact sheets "After the Flood: Advice for Salvaging Damaged Family Treasures" and "Salvaging Water-Damaged Family Valuables and Heirlooms," available in multiple languages.



I will stay in touch as disaster assistance evolves.



Thank you and please stay safe,
Nana
