Abstract
Floods, fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural and human-induced disasters can pose tremendous threats to works that are part of our artistic, architectural, and cultural heritage. Numerous organizations can provide assistance in planning and implementing programs to minimize the damage that such events may cause. Other sources of help are available to aid in recovery operations when disasters strike. The article provides an inclusive list of professional associations, academic institutions, and government agencies for the United States and elsewhere.
