Dear colleagues:
I have always wondered why ARMA was not a part of this or part of a similar partnership that would help businesses or governments with their records before or after a disaster. We know so much about disaster preparedness and business continuity, I don't see any reason why we should not contribute to something similar.
Best wishes,
Carol

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.

Lorsque le cyclone tropical Ouragan Katrina s’est abattu fin août sur
les Etats-Unis, il a laissé un bilan humain dramatique et a causé des
dégâts considérables à la ville de la Nouvelle-Orléans et aux régions
côtières de la Louisiane, du Mississippi et de l’Alabama.
Le Comité international du Bouclier bleu (ICBS), l’équivalent de la
Croix Rouge pour la culture, réunit quatre organisations qui travaillent
dans le domaine du patrimoine culturel (l’ICA, l’ICOM, l’ICOMOS et
l’IFLA), afin de coordonner la préparation et les réponses aux
situations d’urgence.
