Dear HENTF Members,

Good morning! Here are three important items for your Monday:

1. Please reach out to your members and constituents to help us gather reports of damage following Ida, and now Nicholas, and the California wildfires. The gist of our Sept. 13 HENTF meeting was exactly that. None of us, alone, can make much of a difference. But together, we can all help protect our threatened cultural heritage as the Atlantic hurricane season shows no sign of abatement and the California wildfires continue to rage. We can't provide assistance to cultural institutions and arts organizations if we don't know who to reach out to. Please check on your members in LA, MS, AL, NY, NJ, PA, MD, DE, and CA, and share any reports of damage with HENTF.

Reports of damage. We will not be posting reports of damage to the HENTF Members Portal after all. There are simply too many affected states to keep posting these reports on a weekly basis. If you wish to receive the latest damage report(s), please email HENTF Specialist Nana Kaneko<mailto:nana.kaneko at fema.dhs.gov> and specify which state report(s) you'd like to see.


This is huge; please help get the word out to your members, colleagues, and friends:

2. FEMA is now providing retroactive reimbursement for safe opening and operation costs incurred to address COVID safety for expenses incurred from Jan. 20, 2020, through Dec. 31, 2021. Eligible private nonprofits can apply. Reimbursement is exclusive to COVID-19 emergency and major disaster declarations through FEMA's Public Assistance program.
