The destruction of cultural resources from a disaster event causes remorse and hardship that impedes the recovery of the community.  It is the preservation of these resources that gives each community its unique character plus a sense of place and well-being.  We want to ensure that laws, procedures, and plans are developed and followed so that impacts to cultural resources can be minimized and the community can continue on a path to recovery.  To help us do a better job of protecting cultural resources before, during, and after an event, we need your input to better understand the “who, what, when, where, and how” to reach this goal.
