Hi HAC Members,
If you, your collections, or a community archive you know about was impacted, please let us know. We are eager and available to help with recovery. If you interested in helping save archives from future disasters, please consider signing up for our “rapid response” contact list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10saxnJ-fBbU_mFNX_J-k4894P8Ws08zhD_kHeErxH5Q/edit?usp=sharing
