Hello List Members:
 
I received this email from a friend and thought I would pass it along.  It 
underscores the importance of having a plan in place to protect our history  in 
times of natural disaster. Please see below.

To all my Holland Society fellow  members 
The priceless collection of Bergen  Dutch artifacts owned by the Bergen 
County Historical Society was left to the  ravages of flood waters..... 
This is the first time in Bergen  County Historical Society history (105 
years) any item was lost due to  flooding. 
Major damage was sustained to much  of the collection (including our 17th 
century Dutch Kas, and most of  our documents in our safe). 
Please see our web page for photos  of the devastation 
(bergencountyhistory.org). 
Here is a link to an article in the  Bergen Record on the damage
