Subject: [BCMA MBEN] Tracking Flood Costs?
Message-ID: <466D1964.11687.CB648D02@localhost>
Dear Members & Subscribers;
We continue to watch news coverage closely on the BC flood situation
and collectively hold our breath...although the threat seems to have
peaked...
Through numerous side conversations and direct email inquiries, it has
been suggested that those museums and institutions that have been
either threatened or affected by flooding to ensure their local
authorities are kept abreast of your situation.
Also, institutions are advised to track the costs to their institutions
directly resulting from flooding and precautionary, response and
recovery measures your institution has taken or will be taking.
This is important to establishing a legitimate record that would help
substantiate possible future claims for assistance from the Provincial
Emergency Program--which may have to be filed through local
authorities.
Tracked costs would include:
- staff time spent responding to the threat;
- second copies of invoices for all goods and services costs incurred,
(ie. truck rentals for moving collections, materials, etc)
...as well as those costs specific to your own situation.
I invite those at affected institutions to update and advise us on BCMA-
L as to your situation now; response from local officials; whether you
have put an impact tracking system in place; and whether you have
received any indication from local officials that assistance will be made
available.
Also, so that those not affected by this spring's flooding may
understand better the seriousness of this situation and the need for
disaster preparedness plans for each and every institution, we would
welcome postings or direct emails of any digital photos that could be
shared.
Thanks and Congratulations to all of you for your quick action.
--Jim
