Severe Weather Recovery Resources


Hurricane season started at the beginning of this month and will run through the end of November. Recently, New York City experienced massive amounts of smoke from wildfires in Canada. And severe storms have crossed the Midwest and South in recent weeks, bringing flash floods and tornadoes.

Summer increasingly brings with it severe weather events that can be damaging to many local communities. For archives and archivists, it pays to have a plan in place before disasters happen. Check out the resources below to create your disaster preparedness plan.
