To: [log in to unmask]


When the tropical cyclone Hurricane Katrina struck the United States at
the end of August, it left a heavy death toll and caused catastrophic
flood damage to New Orleans and the coastal regions of Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama.
The International Committee of the Blue Shield (ICBS), the cultural
equivalent of the Red Cross, brings together four organisations working
in the field of cultural heritage (ICA, ICOM, ICOMOS and IFLA), to
coordinate preparation of and responses to emergency situations.
