Emergency Resources for Oklahoma Museums in Disaster Areas

Great resources can be found here as well as contact information below.

Oklahoma Museums Association Disaster Response Network (DRN) – Members have been trained in disaster response and recovery of museum collections. All members are prepared to provide advice and phone support regarding minimizing damage to museum objects during and after a disaster.

To contact the network, please email drn@okmuseums.org and include your contact information (phone numbers with area code and email), name of institution and location of the disaster, a description of your situation including date and time of occurrence and any additional information which you believe would be helpful to the network member.  

Another great resource is the National Heritage Responders hotline at 202-661-8068. Volunteers will provide advice and resources and help triage what other help they can provide.

In addition, OMA connects museums to other available and timely resources from organizations such as FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Authority), American Red Cross and others.
