Need Emergency Assistance?

Even with a plan in place, cultural institutions and individuals can be overwhelmed by a catastrophic event, especially a large-scale disaster that might also affect the personal lives of staff, their families, and their community.

While Alliance for Response NYC works to develop Response Team capabilities, you can still contact us for collections related resources and advice. Contact AFR NYC at info@afrnyc.org
