Great Resources

 

 

 

Thanks for putting together these important flood recovery resources. As someone who works in home remodeling and renovation along the Gulf Coast, I’ve seen how damaging storms like Imelda can be to both homes and cultural spaces. It's reassuring to know there’s help for archives and local institutions too, not just private properties. I’ll be sure to keep this in mind when talking with homeowners considering repairs or planning a garage remodel or addition after flood damage.

Coming Together in Crisis

Thank you for putting together this important list of recovery resources. So many people overlook the impact natural disasters have on cultural institutions and archives. Reading this brought me back to the brutal cold snap we had two winters ago when temps dropped below 5°F. My insulation company ended up donating services to a few homes in need that week, just trying to help folks stay safe and warm. In moments like these, it’s amazing to see how different parts of our communities—whether in preservation, housing, or local support—step up to take care of one another. Grateful for the work you all do.
