Individual Assistance is available to individuals and households. For disasters declared on or after March 22nd, 2024, FEMA's Individual Assistance program was expanded to include quicker access to needed funds including simplifying assistance for self-employed individuals such as self-employed artists and entrepreneurs. Learn more about this update in the Press Release<https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20240119/biden-harris-administration-reforms-disaster-assistance-program-help>.

As damages continue to be assessed, disaster assistance may continue to be updated.

Please continue to reach out to your members and constituents to help gather reports of damage, identify any unmet needs, and share the following resources:

  1.  Were any cultural institutions or arts organizations affected? If so, how? Please encourage those impacted to fill out one of the following Rapid Damage Assessment Forms:

  *   Cultural Institutions<https://urldefense.us/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdX2xFpCGc5gTq7UKQSO7xNQqpdL2kQMrFYNwx1RDxT-qsO8g/viewform__;!!BClRuOV5cvtbuNI!BEwzqxgODI1zp5m8dPjxlgwYFPE7FIaj_O7W7ACq-9ybGrR-NnlJbEYKQFEmx90HpQxxIbSEg_kByGNE4Gt2Xy4nRKR0tQ$>
  *   Arts Organizations<https://urldefense.us/v3/__https:/forms.gle/fNAcHzBoUNWiWXY36__;!!BClRuOV5cvtbuNI!FF4rrinph9gvQncugXdq34H2en9zNSLRF0jqQYTXQ73WKE62iV2HZ8Ykr5Bt7tUEfC6fSU6AIIQi187ecfI2p0gcR5cdnkM$>
  *   Individual Artists and Performing Groups<https://urldefense.us/v3/__https:/forms.gle/QL5gAYNUeG6fYRWn7__;!!BClRuOV5cvtbuNI!FF4rrinph9gvQncugXdq34H2en9zNSLRF0jqQYTXQ73WKE62iV2HZ8Ykr5Bt7tUEfC6fSU6AIIQi187ecfI2p0gcibV5DBo$>

  1.  Cultural institutions, arts organizations, and artists and performing groups 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.

  1.  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>.

  1.  HENTF's Save Your Family Treasures guidance is available at https://www.fema.gov/disaster/recover/save-family-treasures#fact-sheets. 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.

Additionally, colleagues at TX-CERA, Texas Collections Emergency Resource Alliance, a private non-profit organization in Texas, whose mission is to serve as an educational resource for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery for Texas cultural institutions can be contacted for support via their hotline number: 669.237.2243.

Please convey any questions to me at fema-hentf at fema.dhs.gov<mailto:fema-hentf at fema.dhs.gov>.  I will stay in touch as disaster assistance evolves.

With thanks,
Sarah
