AIC-CERT Deployed to Iowa Flood  Zones 
Washington, D.C.—Cultural institutions suffering  collections damage from 
flooding can request help by calling a 24-hour  assistance line at 202.661.8068. 
The American Institute for  ConservationÕs Collections Emergency Response Team 
 (AIC-CERT) members are trained to  assess damage and initiate salvage of 
cultural collections after a  disaster has occurred.  
On request from a cultural institution in need, team  members will answer 
questions by phone or be dispatched at no charge to  the institution to work with 
staff and volunteers to save the  collections. Once an assessment has taken 
place, team members can also  have necessary clean-up and re-housing supplies 
ordered and delivered at  no cost to the institution.  
The Institute for Museum & Library Services  provided funding for advanced 
emergency response training and is  providing additional funds for deployment 
and supplies. 
For 24-hour assistance, call 202.661.8068.
