Disaster Planning & Risk Management
Museums care for their resources for the benefit of the public trust. It is therefore incumbent upon them to ensure the safety of their staff, visitors, and neighbors; maintain their buildings and grounds; and minimize risk to the collections that they hold for future generations.
Disaster Relief and Recovery
Find information about relief available for recent disasters, such as hurricanes, tropical storms, and flooding. This information is distributed for cultural organizations by the Heritage Emergency National Task Force (HENTF), of which AAM is a member.
You can also find how to notify HENTF about damage to your museum, hotlines to contact for additional support, and resources to be prepared in case of future disasters.
