Preserving the Collection: Disaster Planning, Response & Recovery

  With Halloween right around the corner, we thought it would be a great time to share some horror stories collected by the Indiana Historical Society. While most of these stories don't contain creatures that go bump in the night, they certainly feature everyday horrors that keep us up at night! http://indianahistory.org/wp-content/uploads/201610_Collections_Horror_Stories.pdf

  The Houston Arts Alliance is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping artists and nonprofits overcome disasters. Their homepage has nine sections with quick, practical information on everything from risk assessment and documentation, to applying for assistance and getting back to work. https://ready.haatx.com/

If you or someone you know is a veteran, you may qualify for assistance in the wake of hurricanes Fiona and Ian. Though this article refers specifically to these two hurricanes, the resources listed can be referred to for any natural disaster. The second link leads to DisasterAssistance.gov, which contains information not just for veterans but families and older Americans as well. https://news.va.gov/109408/what-need-know-va-benefits-hurricane-fiona-ian/?utm_source=middle&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VetResources&utm_id=05OCT2022   https://www.disasterassistance.gov/information/veterans
