Our thoughts are with everyone dealing with flooding and water damage in New South Wales and Queensland.

If your gallery, library, archive, museum or local history site has been impacted by flooding or water damage, please see the following resources for assistance:

• Blue Shield Australia’s Flood Recovery Resources
• The Australian Institute for the Conservation of Cultural Material AICCM resources including After a Flood brochure or finding a conservator

To assist Blue Shield Australia to understand the magnitude of the flooding event, please contact Blue Shield Australia if you are impacted. Also remember to contact your relevant BSA Member Association.

If you’re not currently impacted, don’t forget to prepare for a disaster. Have you got your AICCM  Disaster Preparedness Calendar to help with planning and preparations?  The Blue Shield Australia website also has a range of Disaster Planning Resources
