Dear HENTF Members,



I hope this message finds you safe and well. From early Monday morning (7/8), CAT 1 storm, Hurricane Beryl, made landfall near Matagorda, Texas causing damages. Cultural institutions and arts organizations have no doubt been affected, as have artists and the general public. Please reach out to your members and constituents to help gather reports of damage and identify any unmet needs and share the following resources:



a.      Cultural institutions, arts organizations, and artists and performing groups affected by Hurricane Beryl 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.



b.      Members of the public and individual artists who have questions about saving family heirlooms and personal collections can email the National Heritage Responders at NHRpublichelpline at culturalheritage.org<mailto:NHRpublichelpline at culturalheritage.org>



c.      HENTF's Save Your Family Treasures guidance is available at https://www.fema.gov/assistance/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.
