<p class="MsoNormal">Dear HENTF members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you probably know, the recent flooding in Vermont has activated HENTF, necessitating your engagement. Please reach out to your members and constituents to help gather reports of damage and identify any unmet needs.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Vermont is unique in that its cultural heritage emergency network, the Vermont Arts & Culture Disaster and Resilience Network (VACDaRN), is well equipped to coordinate response for cultural institutions. HENTF is
<i>supporting </i>VACDaRN’s efforts, not leading the charge. Therefore, please ask your members and constituents to report damage and unmet needs to VACDaRN at
<a href="mailto:vacdarn@gmail.com">vacdarn@gmail.com</a> or <b>802.622.4092</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">HENTF will be coordinating federal support, including Public Assistance, should it become available for eligible private nonprofit organizations, with VACDaRN. We’ll reach out to you for technical assistance and for recovery support for
cultural institutions and arts organizations in the weeks and months ahead.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With thanks, as always, for your assistance,<o:p></o:p></p>
